Lecture: Biohybrid Architectures: Histories, Practices and Futures

The lecture marks Phil Ayres' appointment in 2021 as Professor of Biohybrid Architecture at the Institute of Architecture and Technology.
Biohybrid systems couple the biological and the engineered to create blended entities with the aim of satisfying goal oriented and/or exploratory objectives. In his inaugural lecture, Professor Phil Ayres will explore Biohybrids in an Architectural context, revealing a rich and cross-disciplinary history, their contemporary relevance and future prospects.
This will be animated through reference to research conducted within the Chair for Biohybrid Architecture where the fundamental technologies of weaving and fermentation act as a basis for enquiry.
