The Living Infrastructure Layer™
Engineering Nature as Infrastructure™
Living Infrastructure Layer™ is a new engineering framework that transforms green roofs, living walls, and ecological systems into measurable infrastructure for resilient buildings, campuses, municipalities, and AI-powered developments. The Living Infrastructure Layer™ introduces a sixth engineered system, one that transforms nature into measurable infrastructure for healthier, more resilient buildings, campuses, cities, and AI-powered communities.
