Designing the ecoskyscraper involves configuring its built form and operational systems so that they integrate with nature in a benign and seamless way over its life cycle, by imitating the structure, processes and properties of ecosystems, an approach referred to here as ecomimesis. By biologically integrating compatibly all aspects and processes of our built environment with the natural environment, we enhance our human‐made ecosystems' abilities to sustain life in the biosphere. Part 1 discusses the theory and premises for the ecoskyscraper. Part 2 discusses exemplary projects from Ken Yeang's offices.
