Playing with Growth Patterns: Merging Biotechnology and Architectural Design to Sense Environmental Toxins

Fall Conference Proceedings

Author(s): Christine Marizzi, Frank Melendez & Nancy Diniz

This architectural research project, titled Artificial Lucidum, conflates principles in biotechnology with computational processes to design responsive architectural devices that augment bodies with biosensors. The biosensors, embedded within a wearable architecture, measure environmental toxins, and convey this data through an augmented reality interface. The project builds upon ongoing research that is predicated on interdisciplinary collaborations within the fields of architecture and biology.
