    Bioreceptivity refers to the ability of a material to be colonized by living organisms. It was first defined in 1995 as a new term in ecology to discuss the beneficial applications of building materials being colonized by organisms. Bioreceptive design aims to encourage this colonization and is used in architecture and conservation biology to promote biodiversity. Examples include 3D printed structures in cities and pH neutral concrete that supports coral reef growth.

    Bioreceptivity
    Bioreceptivity is defined as "the ability of a material to be
    colonized by living organisms."[1] First defined by Guillitte in 1995
    as a new term in ecology to discuss the beneficial applications of
    building materials for ecological uses. Previous understandings
    termed the colonization of organisms as "degradation," implying a
    negative connotation, leading to the creation of "bioreceptivity" for
    positive benefits of colonization on materials.[1] It is an
    interdisciplinary field of study between materials science and
    ecology. Bioreceptive Lightweight Concrete,
    Bartlett School of
    Bioreceptive design is commonly mistaken for biomimicry, or ArchitectureConcrete materials that
    nature inspired design. Marco Cruz and Richard Beckett provide are designed to encourage the
    an alternative explanation known as architectural bark, in which it growth of moss, lichens, and algae
    is both nature-inspired and nature-integrated where colonization that reduce air pollution.
    by the microbiome and organisms plays a role in the architectural
    design.[2] Bioreceptivity is different from green infrastructure,
    such as green roofs, green walls, and storm water management, but has been observed to be related to
    these research areas in architecture. Bioreceptive design has led to further research studies in
    concrete materials for use in urban environments through walls and non-green spaces.[3] However,
    bioreceptive designs have implications outside creating new green spaces, and can be used for
    conservation biology and ecological restoration.

    Urban ecologies
    A more recent trend in architectural design has been an effort to
    include green spaces in public areas to improve the connection
    between people and nature. However the creation of green spaces
    includes pressures such as space, natural resource demand, and
    Living Wall
    development limitations that reduce the amount of green spaces
    available in urban environments. Land space is limited due to
    increased urbanization and human dominated landscapes reduce regional biodiversity. To adapt to
    these challenges, designers are utilizing the vertical spaces provided by urban architecture to promote
    biodiversity. To address the issue of space availability, wall space has been shown to be a promising
    area to improve vegetation and native flora, creating an effective method for natural conservation. A
    "Nature takes its course," method can also allow for vegetation to naturally colonize new urban spaces
    without economic constraints on landscape design and vegetation selection.[4]

    Bioreceptive designs help promote biodiversity, and have been used outside of the architectural
    context for implications in conservation biology.

    Examples of Bioreceptive Design


    1. Urban Reef (https://www.urbanreef.nl/) is a company founded by Pierre Oskam and Max Latour to
    create habitats and promote biodiversity in urban environments. The company utilizes 3D printing
    with natural materials to create "reef" structures that provide microclimates and nutrients for
    organisms in city environments.
    2. EcoShape (https://www.ecoshape.org/en/knowledge-articles/artificial-reefs/design-of-reefs/) is
    building Artificial Reefs using ceramics, geo-textiles, bio-rocks, and 3D printing to promote coral
    reef growth. Utilizing recycled materials they are able to design reef balls that can promote niche
    habitats for plants and coral, while providing hollow structures for fish and mammals.
    3. Jason deCaires Taylor is an artist who utilizes bioreceptive and pH neutral concrete that promotes
    coral reef growth and provides ecological restoration in marine environments. Additionally their
    work has led to the creation of the world's first underwater sculpture park that provides a non-
    invasive artistic experience without disrupting the marine environment. Taylor's pieces integrate
    messages on the complexity of human and the environment, while also integrating reflection on
    conservation.
