Description
Designing with living materials: a new approach to building and its relationship with micro-organisms. Bioprotopia presents a vision for a world where buildings grow, self-heal, and create virtuous cycles, where the spaces we inhabit are attuned to both human occupants and non-human microbial ecologies. This book is the first comprehensive publication on the state of research in this field, presenting tangible, large-scale prototypes that exploit the possibilities of shaping the built environment with micro-organisms. It also discusses scientific and technical challenges, highlighting the need for a shift in thinking and culture to ensure progress. With rich visuals and illustrative documentation, Bioprotopia is an essential resource for design professions and researchers looking to explore the use of renewable materials in their work.
