Entwerfen mit lebenden Materialien: Gedanken zum Paradigmenwechsel und ein Überblick zum Stand der Forschung Was ist Bioprotopia? Es ist die Vision von einer Welt, in der Gebäude wachsen, sich selbst heilen und positive Kreisläufe schaffen – eine Vision, in der Prozesse sich gegenseitig mit ihren Abfällen speisen und Lebensräume auf menschliche Bewohner als auch auf mikrobiellen Ökologien abgestimmt sind. Dieses Buch zeigt erstmals, dass die Vision dieser Einheit von Biotechnologie und gebauter Umwelt Wirklichkeit werden kann. Anhand großmaßstäblicher Prototypen werden Materialien und Prozesse vorgestellt, die die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der Gestaltung der gebauten Umwelt mit Mikroorganismen nutzen. Gleichzeitig werden die wissenschaftlichen und technischen Herausforderungen erörtert und auf die Notwendigkeit für ein Umdenken und die kulturellen Veränderungen hingewiesen, die für die weitere Entwicklung nötig sind. <UL> <LI>Erste umfangreiche Publikation über den Stand der Forschung </LI> <LI>Zeigt die Anwendung von nachwachsenden Materialien im Entwurf </LI> <LI>Abbildungsreiche, wissenschaftliche Dokumentation für Gestaltungsberufe und Forschende </LI></UL>

Designing with living materials: thoughts on the paradigm shift and an overview of the state of research What is “Bioprotopia”? It is a vision of a world with buildings that grow, self-heal and create virtuous cycles where waste from one process feeds another. A vision where the spaces that we inhabit are attuned to both the human occupants and non-human microbial ecologies. This is the first book to ground the concept of biotechnology in the built environment in tangible, large-scale prototypes. With rich visuals, it presents materials and processes that bring to life the many possibilities of shaping the built environment with micro-organisms. In addition to considering scientific and technical challenges, the book also discusses the need for a shift in thinking and culture to realise this vision. <UL> <LI>First comprehensive publication on the state of research </LI> <LI>Demonstrates the use of renewable materials in design </LI> <LI>Illustrative, scientific documentation for design professions and researchers </LI></UL>

„Der Sammelband unternimmt [...], grafisch höchst übersichtlich und inhaltlich gut strukturiert, die Arbeit, das vorhandene Wissen, die vorhandenen Forschungen – praktische wie theoretisch wissenschaftliche – überblicksweise darzustellen.“ (Benedikt Kraft in DBZ Deutsche BauZeitschrift) *** „Bioprotopia tritt den Puls der Zeit, indem es eine Zukunftsvision präsentiert, in der Biotechnologie und Bauwesen harmonisch miteinander verschmelzen. Das Buch stellt innovative Prototypen und Methoden vor, die den Einsatz von Mikroorganismen in der Architektur ermöglichen und gleichzeitig die Selbstregeneration von Gebäuden fördern. Es beleuchtet sowohl die wissenschaftlichen als auch die kulturellen Herausforderungen, die mit dieser faszinierenden Entwicklung einhergehen.“ (Nina Farhumand in Swiss Arc Mag)

Editors Ruth Morrow is Professor of Biological Architecture at Newcastle University, UK. Ruth’s research is largely practice based and encompasses both the material, the social and the ecological. It is driven by an inclusive, feminist ethos and uses tactics of creativity, collaboration and reflection through writing. She has extensive experience in developing material ideas from concept through to commercialisation, resulting in international funding, design awards, exhibitions, chapters, papers, books and citations. She is currently co-head of the interdisciplinary School X at Newcastle University, where she also co-leads the research theme, Responsible Interactions, in the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment. Ben Bridgens is Professor of Regenerative Architecture at Newcastle University, UK, and a founding member of the HBBE. Ben works at the interface of structural engineering, architecture and design, critically examining ‘sustainable’ (bio)technologies and exploring the potential of reimagining low-tech, traditional approaches for the construction and operation of the built environment. Ben led the design of an experimental house on the Newcastle University campus called ‘The OME’ and co-leads the HBBE’s ‘Responsible Interactions’ theme. Louise Mackenzie is an artist, curator and research associate at HBBE at Newcastle University. Her practice explores human relationships with the non-human world and her research has developed a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to critical engagement with scientific practice. Louise holds a PhD in Fine Art from BxNU Institute of Contemporary Art and is a Director of ASCUS Art and Science in Edinburgh. She is co-founder and curator of an interdisciplinary cinema project, Black Box, and co-founder of Alive Together, an international community for research in human/animal relationships. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including ZKM (Germany), BALTIC CCA (UK) and National Library of Madrid (Spain).
