Growing shoes and furniture: a design-led bio-material revolution, Wired UK.
En Vie (Alive),
curated by Reader and Deputy Director of the Textile Futures
Research Centre at Central Saint Martins College Carole Collet, is an
exposition for what happens when material scientists, architects,
biologists and engineers come together with designers to ask what
the future will look like. According to them, it will be a world
where plants grow our products, biological fabrication replaces
traditional manufacturing, and genetically reprogrammed bacteria
build new materials, energy or even medicine.
