Exploration Architecture was established by Michael Pawlyn in 2007 to focus on sustainable projects that take their inspiration from nature.

He has built a reputation as a thought leader on biomimicry and innovative approaches to sustainability. He has lectured internationally on the subject, delivering a talk at Google's annual 'Zietgeist' conference in 2007, and in 2011, became one of only a small number of architects to talk at TED.com

Prior to setting up the company Michael Pawlyn worked with Grimshaw for ten years and was central to the team that radically re-invented horticultural architecture for the Eden Project. He was responsible for leading the design of the Warm Temperate and Humid Tropics Biomes and the subsequent phases. He initiated the Grimshaw environmental management system resulting in the company becoming the first firm of European architects to achieve certification to ISO14001.
