Paste text here. The emergence of new bio-technology platforms is innovating material thinking to include living organisms. This project examines the use of bioluminescent bacteria as architectural light source. it prototypes new methods for representing and instrumentalising living bacteria as an architectural material by 1) predicting the life cycles and performances of bioluminescent bacterial organisms, 2) interfacing with robotic fabrication for controlled forming of habitats and 3) proposing participatory practices of nurturing and maintaining a living architecture.

This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No.101019693)
