Status Updates From Bio Design: Nature + Scienc...

YOOOO FIRST LIVING TYPEFACE FROM U OF WAGENINGEN ALUM!!! GO NETHERLANDS! GO U OF WAGENINGEN!!!!

Bio encryption. Yea. Yea okay this one broke me. How could one retrieve bio encrypted info in aNy organized way?? How can the mutations be “detected and addressed”?? What happens if someone KILLS the bacteria? I mean I suppose it’s not any more volatile and subject to problems than the current systems but? data being stored in a biological LIFE?? HUH? this feels like the beginning of a sci-fi movie.

I see stuff like this and I almost, *almost,* forget that architects and I tend to have differing dispositions. Oh, this wonderful, terrible thing is getting my hopes up for sustainable design again. William, would you be my instructor?? Please??? You’re very cool, sir, and I’d love it if you shared your tempered and quite literally *measured* enthusiasm with my cohort.

“Taken together, the projects profiled here reflect an overdue shift in societal priorities toward sustainable approaches to building and manufacturing. This unifying purpose is driving increased collaboration between designers and biologists…and offers thrilling new forms and functions” MY EYES ARE HEARTS. IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG
