"What is "Bioprotopia"? It is the vision of a world with buildings that grow, self-heal and create virtuous cycles where waste from one process feeds another. A vision where the spaces that we inhabit are attuned to both the human occupants and non-human microbial ecologies. This is the first book to ground the concept of biotechnology in the built environment in tangible, large-scale prototypes. With rich visuals, it presents materials and processes that exploit the many possibilities of shaping the built environment with micro-organisms. At the same time, scientific and technical challenges are discussed, pointing to the need for a shift in thinking and culture to ensure progress."

Designing with living materials: thoughts on the paradigm shift and an overview of the state of research What is “Bioprotopia”? It is the vision of a world with buildings that grow, self-heal and create virtuous cycles where waste from one process feeds another. A vision where the spaces that we inhabit are attuned to both the human occupants and non-human microbial ecologies. This is the first book to ground the concept of biotechnology in the built environment in tangible, large-scale prototypes. With rich visuals, it presents materials and processes that exploit the many possibilities of shaping the built environment with micro-organisms. At the same time, scientific and technical challenges are discussed, pointing to the need for a shift in thinking and culture to ensure progress. First comprehensive publication on the state of research Demonstrates the use of renewable materials in design Illustrative, scientific documentation for design professions and researchers Entwerfen mit lebenden Materialien: Gedanken zum Paradigmenwechsel und ein Überblick zum Stand der Forschung Was ist Bioprotopia? Es ist die Vision von einer Welt, in der Gebäude wachsen, sich selbst heilen und positive Kreisläufe schaffen – eine Vision, in der Prozesse sich gegenseitig mit ihren Abfällen speisen und Lebensräume auf menschliche Bewohner als auch auf mikrobiellen Ökologien abgestimmt sind. Dieses Buch zeigt erstmals, dass die Vision dieser Einheit von Biotechnologie und gebauter Umwelt Wirklichkeit werden kann. Anhand großmaßstäblicher Prototypen werden Materialien und Prozesse vorgestellt, die die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der Gestaltung der gebauten Umwelt mit Mikroorganismen nutzen. Gleichzeitig werden die wissenschaftlichen und technischen Herausforderungen erörtert und auf die Notwendigkeit für ein Umdenken und die kulturellen Veränderungen hingewiesen, die für die weitere Entwicklung nötig sind. Erste umfangreiche Publikation über den Stand der Forschung Zeigt die Anwendung von nachwachsenden Materialien im Entwurf Abbildungsreiche, wissenschaftliche Dokumentation für Gestaltungsberufe und Forschende

Every year around 80 million scientific procedures are carried out on animals globally. These experiments have the potential to generate new understandings of biology and clinical treatments. They also give rise to ongoing societal debate. This book demonstrates how the humanities and social sciences can contribute to understanding what is created through animal procedures – including constitutional forms of research governance, different institutional cultures of care, the professional careers of scientists and veterinarians, collaborations with patients and publics, and research animals, specially bred for experiments or surplus to requirements. Developing the idea of the animal research nexus, this book explores how connections and disconnections are made between these different elements, how these have reshaped each other historically, and how they configure the current practice and policy of UK animal research.
