Bauen und Biologie: Ausstellung "Built to Grow" in Wien

Sunday, 18 October 2015 16:55
Radio Ö1 - Leporello, Mittwoch, 14. Oktober 2015, 07:52   Bauen und Biologie: Ausstellung "Built to Grow" in Wien Gebäude, die durch biologische und technologische Prozesse wachsen, die durch Selbstorganisation ihren Bauplatz finden, die sich dem Klima anpassen können, keinen Abfall produzieren und sich selbst auflösen können, wenn ihre Lebenszeit abgelaufen ist - was wie eine Utopie klingt, ist tatsächlich ein Forschungsprojekt am Innovation Lab der Universität für angewandte Kunst in Wien. Ein interdisziplinäres Team aus den Bereichen Architektur, Biologie, Kunst, Mechatronik und Robotik betreibt Grundlagenforschung, um eine neue, lebende Architektur zu entwickeln. Die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprojekts sind in der Ausstellung "Built to Grow - Blending Architecture and Biology" bis 7. November im AIL (Angewandte Innovation Laboratory) am Franz Josefs Kai zu sehen. Im November erscheint unter dem gleichen Titel auch ein Buch zum Thema.- Gestaltung: Sophi

Built to Grow - Blending architecture and biology   Opening 12 October, 2015, 6 pmExhibition 13 October –7 November 2015Built to Grow investigates growth patterns and dynamics from nature and applies them to architecture with the goal of creating a new living architecture. Specific biological processes are presented in-depth to identify principles of growth and translate them into exemplary architectural ideas and visions. Thisartistic research project comprised an interdisciplinary team from the fields of architecture, biology, art, mechatronics and robotics.

Shifting [Space] Perspectives

Friday, 31 May 2013 02:05
Shifting [Space] Perspectives: … Imhof’s final case study: a biomimetic project: called GrAB–Growing As Building and the recent book poses a question to GrAB and the predecessor project Biornametics: “What is the architect doing in the jungle?” [20] Architects, artists, biologists and physicists work together to find good architectural solutions from abstraction of good design from nature. [21] Finding innovative answers in integrating outside views may propel our capability to deal with our complex world and will shift our perspective.

Abstraction of good design from nature*

For millions of years nature has been developing strategies for wound-healing, growth, deployment, and self-organization. From this we can assume that intelligent, efficient and smart strategies must have evolved from this.  We are interested in
