What´s Next- Making them fit us?
Creating personal micro biomes?
10.12.2019
The Industrial Age was defined by mass production and manufacturing. Quality of life has dramatically increased but it also caused high levels of pollution that left its mark on the planet. As a result of this age the time of mass production dictated us to believe in a world made of parts. Every part has its own individual function. Architects are still trained to think in assemblies, in different parts with different functions. Needing to put each part together. But what if we start designing aligned to nature. Designing without parts, without assemblies. Taking nature as an example. One material that varies its functionality by defining its elasticity. Building with nature. And even further not only building with biomaterials but wearing them. Is it possible to create personal micro biomes fitting not only our body shapes but our skins too?
