What if we could grow buildings that breathe and capture carbon, just like a tree?<\/p>\n
\u201cMatter of Place\u201d proposes a living building material made from cyanobacteria and oyster shells from the Swedish coast. Through photosynthetic biomineralisation, these microorganisms absorb CO\u2082 and transform it into solid structural matter, using solar radiation which is one of most net-negative fabricating process that we know of.<\/p>\n
Designed as a living building skin, the facade cladding simultaneously captures carbon and insulates existing buildings. Each tile’s geometry is computationally shaped from local solar data, so every facade is grown for its own micro-climate. This degree project illustrates the concept of \u2018bio-digital terroir\u2019 where microbial agency, climatic data and human knowledge converge to open a path toward a future rooted in earth ecology and heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
