Genome is "the total amount of genetic information in the chromosomes of an organism, including its genes and DNA sequences. It represents all the inheritable traits of an organism."

At Genome Architects and Design Consultancy (GAD), we believe that like genome, a project's requirements and program is specific to culture, context, heritage, substance and time. Natural systems of biology, organisms and natural habitats provide us with endless methods, inspirations to manifest our own built environment in pleasurable, intelligent ways.

Started by Yen Yen Wu, GAD explores concerns of design through its fundamentals:

Responsive – through use of materials for all their inherent properties and behaviours in atmospheric climates; through understanding that response necessarily incorporates the element of time, growth and change.

Computation and biomimetic – through understanding the architecture, self-organisation and movements of natural bio-systems and adapting these methods into our built environments so that architecture partakes in being counted as natural habitats; through use of new technologies to understand and construct living systems that our simple human brains can comprehend and appreciate; to humanise our environment intelligently.

Tying together a development of form, substance and time packed in tight package that is without excess, without being superfluous, something we all carry around. It is called our GENOME
