We need to figure out how to build a building the same way nature produces a tree or an animal. The future of architecture is to design a self sustaining premises that does not harm the global ecology but in time give to mother nature and save the planet from dying off.

He uses the word "biomimicry"in the video. A quick search led me to a great page on the some more insite on the ideas that fortify the concept.
