Intro to Biodesign: 4-Week Online Seminar Series
Curious about biodesign, living materials, and biomaterials? Join us for a 4-week introductory seminar exploring a series of different making methods within biodesign. This workshop series will provide you with recipies, techniques, demos, and entry points to bringing biodesign into your work or practice.
This weekly online series offers a foundational overview of key concepts, materials, and living systems that are redefining how we think about design and innovation.

Week 1 – Introduction to Biodesign
Explore the core principles of biodesign through key concepts and real-world case studies. We'll learn about what is going on at the cutting edge of biodesign and the key debates within the movement.
Week 2 – Introduction to Biofabrication
Learn how organisms like mycelium are used for fabrication. We'll learn how mycelium works, grows, and can be used as a fabrication material. This will include demos of cultivation and fabrication methods.
Week 3 – Introduction to Biomaterials
Discover the diverse world of biomaterials and their applications across design, architecture, and product development. We'll learn how to make and sculpt with different biomaterials and think about different recipies for different needs.
Week 4 – Introduction to Living Systems
Dive into ecological design strategies, including phytoremediation, root system fabric, and composting as dynamic, living processes. We'll have a look at ways to work with living systems combined with creative composting demos, and strategise how to bring the living into our own practices.
Whether you're a designer, artist, scientist, or simply curious, this seminar will give you an introduction and entry points to many different kinds of biodesign practices!
