Bioluminescent algae, symbiotic aquariums, self-healing concrete,
clavicle wind instruments and structures made from living trees -
biology applied outside the lab has never been so intriguing, or so
beautiful. Bio Design examines the thrilling advances in the field,
showcasing some seventy projects (concepts, prototypes and
completed designs) that cover a range of fields - from architecture
and industrial design to fashion and medicine. The revised and
expanded edition features twelve new projects (replacing ten
existing projects): Hy-Fi (by David Benjamin); One Central Park,
Sydney (Jean Nouvel); Guard from Above (Sjoerd Hoogendoorn);
Cell-laden Hydrogels for Biocatalysis (Alshakim Nelson); Zoa
(Modern Meadow); Amino Labs (Julie Legault); Algae and Mycelium
Projects (Eric Klarenbeek); Interwoven and Harvest (Diane Scherer);
Concrete Honey (John Becker); Bistro In Vitro (Koert van
Mensvoort); Circumventive Organs (Agi Haines); Quantworm Mine (Liv
Bargman and Nina Cutler). It also includes a new 'how-to' section
at the end (Tips for Collaboration/FAQs/Further Resources), as well
as a fully revised introduction.
