Christopher J. Bribach's explorations of bio-mimetic architecture have ranged from installations investigating chaos to the design of living buildings.

Bribach allows his projects to grow and change organically, introducing the possibility for each structure to establish its own form and natural rhythm.

Most recently, Bribach is exploring the potential of fast-growing timber bamboo as a structural building material. One such project, his collaboration on New York City's Highline re-design competition, combined principles of bio-dynamic gardening and participatory design, enabling members of the local community to create unique architectural plantings that allowed for programmatic adaptation and spatial modification over time.

Bribach's vision of buildings is inspired by the innovation of nomadic dwellings, such as fiber weaving and the use of simple, local raw materials.

"The design of our buildings as well as our cities can and will one day embrace both the biological and spiritual aspect of being human." - CJ Bribach
