Noah : A mobile showroom of agricultural and pollution control innovations

IT4W is developing two visionary projects to make biodiversity regeneration tangible, emotional, and accessible: a mobile showroom built from a recycled vehicle, and an urban autonomous apartment designed to bring life back to the heart of cities. Together, these initiatives embody a powerful message: that biodiversity is not something separate from us it must live with us, travel with us, and be designed into every part of our future.

Noah’s Bus: A Moving Ecosystem of Hope

Nicknamed “Noah’s Bus”, the eco-designed mobile showroom will travel across France to meet citizens where they are  especially young people in rural areas and present practical and inspiring ways to regenerate biodiversity. Planned for launch in 2026–2027, it draws inspiration from the 48 Volts mobile unit created by Pierre Gillet for I Tech 4 Climate, in partnership with the X Mobility shared factory in Le Mans.

Noah’s Bus will function as a traveling biodiversity embassy, with immersive exhibits on how to protect pollinators, restore soils, plant hedgerows, create wetlands, and build ecological corridors. Designed with low-tech, modular scenography, powered by biomethane from organic waste (rather than solar or wind), and built from recycled, biodegradable materials, the bus itself becomes a demonstrator of circular, living systems.

Visitors will explore interactive zones inspired by diverse habitats: tropical forests, dry savannas, European meadows. They’ll learn about endangered species, from amphibians like the Panamanian tree frog to forgotten native plants. Augmented reality installations will allow them to experience ecological collapse and the power of restoration.

Most importantly, Noah’s Bus is a platform for solutions: it highlights real projects like permaculture, wildlife corridors, seed banks, and low-impact farming that anyone can replicate. With workshops, talks, and storytelling, the bus inspires both awe and action especially among children and young adults.

This mobile showroom is much more than a communication tool. It is a living bridge between humans and ecosystems, designed to spark change from the ground up. In a world facing ecological collapse, this traveling space becomes a messenger of regeneration. It is not just a bus  it is a moving ecosystem of hope.

The Witness Home: Regenerating Biodiversity… from an Apartment

The second major IT4W initiative tackles biodiversity from another angle: the apartment. As most of the world’s population will live in urban apartments in coming decades, cities must become ecological spaces  not just carbon-neutral, but biodiversity-positive.

The Witness Home is a prototype of an autonomous, regenerative apartment designed to host life. It features green walls, balcony permaculture, indoor microforests, natural water filtration, solar energy, and composting all while providing comfort and beauty. The apartment includes nesting boxes, pollinator corridors, and refuges for birds and insects, transforming even a high-rise floor into a living ecosystem.

The project builds on the example of the 100% low-tech apartment in Boulogne-Billancourt, created by Corentin de Chatelperron and Caroline Pultz. Their home runs on solar power, features mist showers and compost toilets, and cultivates mushrooms and insects. The Witness Home expands this vision by placing biodiversity at its core, showing how cities can become net contributors to life.

It also serves as a learning space, welcoming urban planners, social housing providers, and students to experience a future where regeneration happens indoors.

The Witness Home is not about escape  it’s about integration. It proves that regeneration can happen on the fifth floor of a building, that air, soil, and pollinators can return to concrete. It is not a home of the future  it is a living base for the cities of today.

One Ecosystem, Two Vehicles for Change

Through the dual force of mobility and domesticity, I Tech 4 Wild invites us to rethink our relationship with nature. Whether it’s a rolling forest on wheels or a balcony micro-habitat, these projects aim to bring biodiversity back into our lives, not as decoration, but as foundation.

From Noah’s Bus to the Witness Home, these are not just educational spaces they are functional ecosystems, showing what happens when design, ecology, and imagination align.

Join us on this journey. Ride the bus. Visit the home. And help build a future where humans are not separate from nature  we are nature, in motion.
