Bio-Integrated Design “Open House” Event

The design of future habitats will be shaped by biotechnology, data-driven technologies and socio-cultural dynamics; coupled with our exposure to the long-lasting effects of climate change. Bio-integrated Design (Bio-ID) takes these life-changing phenomena as the foundation for radically new, sophisticated, yet also critical design solutions that help to develop a more bioreceptive and sustainable built environment.

This Open House event will be a celebration of work from Year 1 and graduating Year 2 students from Bio-Integrated Design MArch and MSc programmes. Fusing computational design, digital manufacturing and scientific research students will exhibit work made during the programme. With projects spanning a breadth of topics from living construction materials to the creation of new systems for bioremediation of pollution, our Open House will be an opportunity to experience the unique interdisciplinary environment of UCL Here East.

The Open House will start with an evening event on Tuesday 28 September 18:00 - 21.00. 

The work will be on display for visitors to visit at UCL Here East Wednesday 29 September 09:00 - 18:00 BST

The newly patented components offer unique translucent qualities that can be applied as photosynthetically-active wall components that mediate light from/to indoor spaces.
