Hi everyone! A bit over a month ago I made a survey about Solarpunk and shared it here. Now, I finally present you the findings of the survey! I am adding a few pics here for a preview and if you are interested, go check the link where there is a full description of the findings!!

In a solarpunk future I'd hope we'd have the technology to have buildings that grow according to how they are used. That would be awesome.

The sci-fi/space opera Pandora's Star (and it's follow-up, Judas Unchained) by Peter F Hamilton has humanity developing fast growing coral that they then use to essentially grow houses, over around 5 years, to the specific shape and layout that the inhabitants desire.
The books aren't solarpunk in the truest sense, yet they have a surprising amount of solarpunk compatible ideas involved (including a hefty critique of both capitalism and unchecked industrialization).
Buildings that grow? Can you explain what you mean? My imagination is going wild
Idk, I was just thinking flowers or fruit growing from the walls or maybe even furniture/utilities being a part of the building itself in such a way that depending on how you use them the shape changes over time I haven't really thought that far ahead.

Oooo we can dream, and in that dreaming maybe find a way to shape reality :)
