The US Building Council and international architectural practice HOK have partnered together to design an orphanage and children’s center in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The design uses biomimicry referencing the Kapok tree, native to Haiti, both in the branch-like external structural system and the cooling aspect of the second skin. Post via
