I find it fascinating how lungs in our bodies are so similar to ventilation systems in buildings. Lungs draw in fresh air through the nose and mouth, send it down the trachea, and then into smaller branches until it reaches the alveoli, where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. This process is efficient and ensures every part of the body gets what it needs to thrive.
In the same way, buildings rely on ventilation systems to bring in fresh air through vents or windows, move it through ducts, and distribute it to every corner. Just like alveoli, vents and outlets ensure proper circulation and remove stale air to maintain a healthy environment.
For me, this analogy shows how both systems adapt to their environments to support life and balance. It inspires me to think about how we can design buildings that function as efficiently and harmoniously as living organisms.
