The American Institute of Architects<\/a> (AIA) Upjohn Research Initiative<\/a> has announced $100,000 in grants to be divided between four applied research projects, touching on biophilic spaces, biodiversity, and 3D printing. Judged by a double-blind peer review process, the initiative is designed to provide base funds for projects expected to be completed within an 18-month period.<\/p>\n

The Impact of Biophilic Learning Spaces on Student Success
\n<\/em>Led by principal investigators James Determan, FAIA (Hord Coplan Macht<\/a>), and Mary Anne Akers, PhD (Morgan State University<\/a>), this study aims to provide evidence of the link between biophilic classroom design and student success. Researchers will study the correlation between incorporating natural elements into a learning space and enhanced cognitive performance.<\/p>\n

Biophilic Architecture: Sustainable Materialization of Microalgae Fa\u00e7ades
\n<\/em>Kyoung-Hee Kim, PhD (University of North Carolina at Charlotte<\/a>), will study a microalgae fa\u00e7ade, which is a sustainable building system based on the synthesis of biophilic, bioclimatic, and biomimicry design approaches. This research will further sustainable building practice by providing alternatives to existing building materials.<\/p>\n

Biodiverse Built Environments: High-performance Passive Systems for Ecologic Resilience
\n<\/em>Keith Van de Riet, PhD (University of Kansas<\/a>), leads this project, which looks into expanding the category of high-performance passive systems to include biodiversity as design criteria in both architectural and landscape structures.<\/p>\n

Tilt Print Lift \u2013 Concrete 3D Printing for Precast Assemblies
\n<\/em>Principal investigators Tsz Yan Ng and Wesley McGee (both of University of Michigan<\/a>) explore the development of 3D concrete printing technologies to produce prefabricated concrete panels for complex wall assemblies.<\/p>\n
