“Building facades live and breathe. As buildings become “smarter,” their skins will change, too. Some will have features such as double-skin facades that help naturally cool, heat, light, and ventilate interior spaces. Others, like Terreform ONE’s Monarch Sanctuary, become a part of the ecology itself. Its eight-story exterior will be a butterfly habitat, incorporating milkweed and other plants and creating a space that the firm describes as a “new biome of coexistence for people, plants, and butterflies.”
