b'KAUAI FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONInspired by NatureWe imagine Kalukalu at 1624 as a living building. Biomimicry invites us to imagine buildings that function like trees and communities that function as efficiently as forests. In this way, we imagine the building breathing, pumping fluids without electricity, developing solar collectors like leaves, without toxic chemicals and in water-based chemistry. Creating circular economies, connecting to other buildings, sharing information and resources.We imagine a building intimately connected to the socio-ecological system it inhabits. We envision our building celebrating when our island system celebrates, hurting when our systems hurt, evolving with our people, economy, ideas and environment. We imagine it as an ecosystem that develops new variations by being locally-attuned and responsive to its place.We imagine Kalukalu at 1624 as an active participant in building prosperity for our island.
