description: The metabolizing, architectural cell can react to external stimuli and internal stimuli to create a condition of homeostasis and cycle and generation resources for a human operator. Architecture has the ability to metabolize, adapt, and function more similarly to life than every thought possible. The development of a metabolizing model of architecture will both critique the traditional model of stability and suggest a shift in a paradigm of design.
