It wasn\u2019t long ago that \u2018Biodesign\u2019, as in designing using biological systems that exist in nature \u2013 microorganisms, bacteria, biological waste et cetera, was a term unbeknownst to many. Not dissimilar to the microorganisms from which it\u2019s founded, its presence and potential is evolving, proliferating perhaps, into mainstream understanding. Biodesign now sits at the forefront of innovation in material futures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Central Saint Martins get it. So much so that in 2019 the university became one of the first in the world to welcome a cohort of hybrid minds onto its new course, MA Biodesign<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Although a recent discipline, Biodesign is growing at an exponential speed and permeating all fields of design and interdisciplinary subjects,” says Nancy Diniz, MA Biodesign Course Leader. “<\/span>On MA Biodesign, we develop impactful and feasible sustainable design solutions by following and developing rigorous lab experimental protocols that integrate biological systems into creative design solutions. We grow and manipulate living organisms to calibrate design strategies that drive new forms of seeing, thinking, mapping and making. This is already making a difference in the industry.”<\/span><\/p>\n

And, last week, the next generation of biodesigners came together to showcase a collection of technologies once unfathomable at the class of 2023’s graduate show. Hosted at the Kings Cross campus, the exhibition featured prototypes, installations and concepts that demonstrate biodesign\u2019s promise to address environmental challenges across fashion, architecture, food and further. This year\u2019s interdisciplinary makers set about to consider the real-world applications of their labour, \u2018Post-Petri\u2019 \u2013 beyond the petri dish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":108531,"id":108531,"title":"Xue chen","filename":"Xue-chen.jpg","filesize":378341,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-impact-review-beyond-the-petri-dish\/xue-chen\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Image courtesy of Xue Chen.","name":"xue-chen","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":108524,"date":"2023-06-17 14:20:29","modified":"2023-06-17 14:20:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":836,"height":506,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":77,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","medium-width":836,"medium-height":506,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","medium_large-width":836,"medium_large-height":506,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","large-width":836,"large-height":506,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","1536x1536-width":836,"1536x1536-height":506,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","2048x2048-width":836,"2048x2048-height":506,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Xue-chen.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":836,"wpvr_mobile-height":506}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

With furs, fibres and dyes made from invasive plants like nettles, Xue Chen<\/a>\u2019s \u2018Bio-Invasive Library\u2019 sets about as a solution for both fashion and ecology. By using invasive plants, Chen aids in the prevention of lost biodiversity not to mention the inhumane use of animal furs. It takes the form of a library or reference point for designers looking for alternative materials because of Chen\u2019s extensive research and experimentation into the application of different techniques such as felting and spinning and how they can be applied to yarns from invasive plants to create different material textures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI used abundant invasive plant resources found in the N1C area of London as a designated experimental site. By conducting a comprehensive inventory of invasive plants in London and comparing it to the local resources, I was able to create a map of invasive plant distribution,\u201d says Chen. \u201cUsing exclusively plants from these regions in my dying processes therefore plays a part in the management of invasive plants which would otherwise threaten local biodiversity and require excessive financial resources for treatment and prevention.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":108529,"id":108529,"title":"","filename":"The-Sweeeet-Side_Liv-TSIM_04.jpg","filesize":404990,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/The-Sweeeet-Side_Liv-TSIM_04.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-impact-review-beyond-the-petri-dish\/the-sweeeet-side_liv-tsim_04\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Image courtesy of Liv Tsim.

Jessica Evans <\/a>is fascinated by the carbon impact of digital fashion and its visualisation. A future in the Metaverse has made novel concepts like NFTs and digital garments, hyper customised and made in collaboration between humans and machines, a possibility. \u201cThe textile and apparel field, one of the most polluting industries on the planet, can leverage a digital future that is informed with greater control over its environmental impact,\u201d says Evans. \u201cDigital fashion is a part of this transition. It can enable industry democratisation, increase stability and greater creativity, creating garments which would be physically impossible in the real world. But \u2013 the invisible carbon impact of this technology must be considered.\u201d This is where Evan\u2019s project comes in. <\/span><\/p>\n

Evans has created a cyber-physical system, namely \u2018The Alginator\u2019,\u00a0 that measures energy used in the making of a particular digital garment on a computer, it then calculates the estimated carbon emission and off-sets an equalised quantity of carbon in an algae bioreactor, which, since algae is the fastest carbon eater on the planet, is then “eaten” via photosynthesis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":108525,"id":108525,"title":"Boquin Huang","filename":"Boquin-Huang.jpg","filesize":1068915,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Boquin-Huang.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-impact-review-beyond-the-petri-dish\/boquin-huang\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Image courtesy of CSM.

Evans isn\u2019t the only one using Algae on the MA Biodesign course.\u00a0 In her project \u2018Grown Blur\u2019, Boqun Huang <\/a>uses microalgae cultivation to produce naturally and sustainably grown pigments which can then be incorporated into textiles using Indonesian traditional heritage weaving technique, Ikat. Huang\u2019s project sits at the nexus of past and present, paying homage to artisanal craftsmanship while promoting sustainable fashion practice through novel technologies. Ikat is a centuries old art form that involves resist-dyeing threads before weaving them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMicroalgae are known for their rapid growth and rich pigment content. When cultivated in a controlled environment, and combined with Ikat, we can grow algae on the yarns before weaving.
