How to Biodesign #13

The city as a living organism is a metaphor that is far from the truth in our cities. Biodiversity is a grant topic, yet how can we bring nature back when there is so little soil left for nature to thrive? What do bioneers encounter when contributing to the living metabolism of our cities? We will investigate creative and structural ways to stimulate nature in the concrete jungles that are our cities in this How To Biodesign meetup.

How to Biodesign series

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with Emma van der Leest (founder of BlueCity Lab, biodesigner and writer of the book Form Follows Organism) we explore the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.

The monthly meetups facilitate interaction between bioneers who are already working and those who want to get started with biodesign and biofabrication, provide a platform for sharing stories and experiences and actively share knowledge, know-how and insights from the meetups to a broader audience.
