Living Panels: Reimagining Materials with Nature
The exhibition showcases design artefacts that reimagine how we work with living and post-living systems, offering new ways to think about sustainability through partnerships with the more-than-human world. These student-led projects explore how design objects can evolve, adapt, and participate in ecological processes beyond human needs.
These projects are a result of "BioMakerStudio Summer Course" - a cross-institutional collaboration between Aalto University and IAAC (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia) - supported by the EU-funded COCOON Project.
