- Additional information
- The text discusses the principles and aspirations behind the Living Architecture (LIAR) project (2016-19), an EU-funded scheme that combines bioenergy, synthetic biology and building construction (https://livingarchitecture-h2020.eu/objective/). The author was employed as an RA on the project. The chapter discusses the interdisciplinary approach to 'living bricks'--units of construction that combine structure and flows. The project is described both in terms of the technologies employed (microbial fuel cells, photo-bioreactors, synthetic reactors) and of the paradigm shift they suggest--towards rethinking buildings and materials as metabolic and not inert.
