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.
