The twenty-first century is one of the most complex in the history of humanity, mainly due to the ecological crisisit is going through. The construction sector generates about 40% of CO2 emissions into the environment; the foregoingshould motivate this sector to seek new alternatives to develop new building practices. Taking these current needs intoaccount, this document classifies and presents a multidisciplinary solution that integrates biology, engineering andarchitecture to develop a new and innovative lightweight timber structure; it divides with a main structure made oftimber and an innovative joint system made of bio-polymers connecting all the panels. Through the study of diatoms,it was able to analyze the bio-morphology of the structure, joints and in particular the geometry since they were theinspiration for the design of this structure that presents an innovative and novel design of structural optimization.Through parametric design and digital fabrication, it was able to create a complex geometry that obtains excellentstructural behavior. This research discusses and explores how materials, geometry led to the optimization of a structureand how new structures can arise, thanks to biology new solutions can be obtained that are completely sustainable,being a clear example of how to combat the effects of the climate change and in a precise way it highlights theadvantages of the bio-design in the architectural design.

During the next decades the construction will have to face many problems that never had inferred, it must reinvent itself to adapt to the new needs that it currently demands because it consumes too many energetic resources, it generates excess of CO2 emissions, consumption of natural resources and every day the construction is more expensive. The United Nations 2030 Agenda announced the objectives for sustainable development, this to try to mitigate the effects of climate change; The Coronavirus pandemic made humanity reflect on the emergencies that we must face and left us reflecting that we are not prepared for an emergency or crisis; These are key points that we must address to develop the new architecture. If we analyze the history of architecture, we can see that technology and science has always been a catalyst for humanity and has generated great solutions to the problems that befall us, this should motivate us to use technology and software in our favor. Therefore, we must prepare and generate new solutions, innovations and technology that focus on solving the new needs that architecture demands. The question is: how we can solve these problems?  The answer is through digital fabrication and parametric design. It is important to emphasize and make it clear, we cannot continue to build as we have been doing in the past century, our practices and approaches must change, and it is urgent to rethink the role of the architecture today.
