About the Institute

ibn institut rosenheim

“We chose the image of a nautilus shell for our logo. With its logarithmic spiral, it has been a symbol of a natural order that applies equally to the tiniest foraminifera (microcosm) and the most gigantic spiral galaxies (macrocosm) since time immemorial. This timeless natural order is also at the heart of a holistic building biology: creating aesthetically pleasing dwellings that provide shelter and integrate optimally into the surrounding environment.”
