About the Book

Das Werk ist das Ergebnis der Erforschung unterschiedlicher Wege des Experimentierens mit Biologie und Architektur auf dem neuen Feld der " lebenden Architektur" . Es untersucht architektonische Visionen selbstwachsender Häuser mit Blick auf Wachstumsmuster und Dynamiken in der Natur, um sie auf Zukunftsszenarien anzuwenden. Dazu werden Ideen und Konzepte gewachsener Strukturen präsentiert, welche ein interdisziplinäres Team aus den Bereichen Architektur, Kunst, Biologie, Robotik und Mechatronik entwickelt hat. Der Hauptteil des Buches dokumentiert die künstlerischer Forschungsarbeit von mehr als zwei Jahren. Sie schließt Experimente im Labor mit biologischen Vorbildern wie den wegefindenden Schleimpilz und Myzeliumstrukturen ebenso ein wie Untersuchungen metabolischer Systeme um einen neuartigen beweglichen 3D-Drucker. Die von Begrifflichkeiten wie ‚Agency', emergente Systeme oder Resilienz und die Diskussion über die immanenten Werte und ethischen Aspekte dieser Forschung reflektieren die Arbeit an " lebender Architektur innerhalb unserer sich verändernden Welt und lassen so gesamtheitliche Zusammenhänge erkennen.

Review :
... Built to Grow: Blending Architecture and Biology inevitably enriches the current discourse on biomimetics in architecture. The book does not solve the challenge of how to "grow" architecture, but it presents a powerful case study of how scientists and educators could blend the disciplines of architecture and biology to establish new interdisciplinary collaborations to overcome disciplinary constraints. The book could help leverage the innovative integration of life science and technology within the academic context of architecture schools. With this, the book lays the seeds for true innovation regarding the integration of nature and living systems in the built environment--and forecasts a future in which these achieve an unprecedented level of integration and synergy. Gundula Proksch (2018) in TechnologyArchitecture + Design, 2:1, 118-119
