What is a Building (or Bau) Biologist?

A Bau-biologist is a researcher, architect, engineer, and doctor, all in one. He or she offers a preventive and healing medicine and a creative and unifying influence. A Bau-biologist is a worker in the global effort to solve the problems that come from modem ways of building and settlement planning—ways that disregard nature and human culture.

To work for a better and more beautiful world is an extraordinary, necessary, and satisfying job. The goals are:
  • to regain order and harmony in our surroundings,
  • to restore the balance between nature, our buildings, and ourselves
  • to help build bridges for the realization of a world that is ecologically oriented.


  • This is a creative and harmonizing work, and as such, should be carried out without violent conflict. This goal calls for dynamic, idealistic, and creative people. It calls for people who appreciate deeper meanings and hold higher aspirations in life. It calls for people who seek growth and renewal. It calls for people who can stand apart from the masses and transcend the masses’ craving for superficial pleasure.

    A Bau-biologist must see the holistic relationship of all life. After all, it is unseeing human beings who cause the problem and who are, themselves, the problem. Only by seeing and applying the natural laws ourselves will we be able to lead others out of the labyrinth.

    As Bau-biologists, we don’t have every answer. We may not even be able to change very much the present impersonal, economically, technologically oriented ways of building and living. But let’s not worry too much about that. If we set an example ourselves and give good advice, based on Bau-biological principles, we will make a difference. Then, from the ethical point of view, we can be satisfied with our performance to have participated in changing things to the better hoping that destiny will do the rest.

    What do IBE-certified professionals do?

    IBE professionals are self-employed and all inquiries regarding their performance should be directed to the individual, not to IBE. IBE is an educational institute, not a licensing board, and therefore IBE has no authority over the performance of its former students. These contacts are provided as a courtesy and not as a sign of endorsement.
