    How thin layer of microorganisms on building's outermost skin can regenerate the environment

What happens when we question what the outside of a building needs to look like and why? And how might this deepen our understanding of what grows on it? Epidermitecture is concerned with stains formed by microorganisms on facades of buildings and explore their ability to restore and regenerate the environment by acknowledging their importance in building industry, society and aesthetics.
