Architectural Philosophy
He has built various projects to house the homeless in Brussels. Schuiten's architectural philosophy is centered around the concept of archiborescence, an architecture that uses living organisms or organisms inspired by the living as the primary materials for construction. He is also a proponent of biomimicry, a concept that takes inspiration from the strategies developed by certain organisms to adapt to specific environmental conditions while maintaining their integrity. In Schuiten's imaginary cities, all spaces have been optimized to meet the needs of residents and create new urban uses, such as the development of communal chicken coops, gardens, orchards, greenhouses, and pigeon houses.
