Modern biotechnologies give us unprecedented control of the fundamental building blocks of life. For designers, across a range of disciplines, emerging fields such as synthetic biology offer the promise of new sustainable materials and structures which may be grown, are self-assembling, self-healing and adaptable to change. While there is a thriving speculative discourse on the future of design in the age of biotechnology, there are few realized design applications.
This book, the first in the Bio Design series, acts as a bridge between design speculation and scientific reality and between contemporary design thinking, in areas such as architecture, product design and fashion design, and the traditional engineering approaches which currently dominate biotechnologies. Filled with real examples, Living Construction reveals how living cells construct and transform materials through methods of fabrication and assembly at multiple scales and how designers can utilize these processes.
|- Bridges the gap between design speculation and scientific reality, and between contemporary design thinking and the traditional engineering approaches which currently dominate bio technologies.
- Filled with real world examples at multiple scales and demonstrates how designers can use these processes
- Translates complex biological processes and theories into clear concepts which can be understood by those without science and engineering backgrounds
