Living Building Challenge
The International Living Future Institute imagines a world in which buildings are designed and constructed to function as elegantly and efficiently as an organism.
These buildings might be informed by their bioregion’s characteristics - generating the energy they consume with renewable resources, capturing and treating the water they use, all while operating efficiently and with optimal beauty.
The Living Building Challenge is comprised of seven petals
