Designers and artists have always looked to nature for
inspiration and materials, but only recently have they been able to
alter and incorporate living organisms in their work. In a world
with finite resources and a growing population, design that mimics
or appropriates the sustainable template of nature is likely to
prove as vital as it is novel. "Bio Design" examines some seventy
projects concepts, prototypes and completed designs that cover
the fields of architecture, industrial processes, education, fine
art, material engineering and bioengineering. Each project is
illustrated by a short text, images and captions that combine to
explain the problems the venture tackles, and how living materials
and processes were harnessed to solve them in sustainable and
aesthetically pleasing ways. Many of the solutions also provoke
thought about manipulating life for human ends. From bacteria that
can spin microfibrils of pure cellulose for use in the clothing
industry to pigeons that fed special bacteria excrete harmless
detergent instead of faeces, and from lamps that require blood to
function to genetically hacked plants with human DNA biological
design is science future here and now.
