It seeks to create spaces that are attuned to both human occupants and non-human microbial ecologies. This groundbreaking book is the first to bring the concept of biotechnology to the built environment through tangible, large-scale prototypes. It showcases materials and processes that unlock the endless possibilities of shaping the built environment with microorganisms. In addition to addressing scientific and technical challenges, the book also emphasizes the need for a shift in thinking and culture to realize this vision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive publication serves as a valuable resource for design professions and researchers. It demonstrates the use of renewable materials in design and provides illustrative, scientific documentation that supports the development of this emerging field. By exploring the intersection of biotechnology, architecture, and sustainability, \"Bioprotopia\" offers a glimpse into the future of sustainable design and construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 916g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 270 x 200 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783035625790\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44528843620602,"sku":"9783035625790","price":39.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692379870236_book.jpg?v=1693481286","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/bioprotopia-designing-the-built-environment-with-living-organisms-9783035625790","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
