Sustainable Futures – Leave No One Behind
Two MoA Research Groups Presented their Projects at the World Congress of Architecture in Copenhagen
More than 6000 participants from 135 countries, 150 sessions, 250 science papers & 400 speakers came together this month in Copenhagen for the World Congress of Architecture, the UIA 2023 – all with one goal: Sustainable Futures – Leave No One Behind! Also from »Matters of Activity«, two research groups contributed to this important event for architects and the building industries: Natalija Miodragović, Daniel Suárez, and Nelli Singer presented their project »Plektonik - Active Yarns for Adaptive Loop-Based Material Systems«. This research investigates contemporary textile techniques and plant-based 'active' yarns to describe a new material system and fabricate lightweight structural prototypes. Second, Aurélie Mosse, Daniel Suárez, and Bastian Beyer gave insights into their preprint »Towards a Bacterially-Induced Textile Architecture«.
