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!
