Those little bugs have some slick tricks up their sleeves to keep their homes cool. Now, imagine skyscrapers in BioTech Metropolis designed like that, staying breezy without the need for tons of air conditioners running all day. Then there are buildings that act kinda like plants. Their outer layers can soak up sunlight and turn it into energy. Think of it as a building doing a little sunbathing and then using that sun-soaked energy to power up its lights, elevators, and everything else. But the coolness doesn’t stop there. You know how our skin heals after a little cut? Some buildings in this city have borrowed that idea. If a window cracks or a wall gets chipped, special materials kick in to ‘heal’ these minor damages. Now, BioTech Metropolis isn’t just about fancy buildings.
