Living Systems Lab
A symposium by Central Saint Martins – UAL, with Carole Collet, Heather Barnett, Nancy Diniz, Alice Taylor, and Rob Kesseler
The Living Systems Lab Research Group from Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London explores the inherent properties of biological living systems to develop new knowledge in the field of ecology via creative practices in art, design, and architecture. Two interconnected strands bring together bio-informed design research as a disruptive driver for sustainable innovation and artistic research, exploring the interrelationships within complex ecologies and networked systems.
This symposium introduced in the context of maat Mode 2020 a series of projects which exist at the intersection of art, design, architecture, and biology, by researchers Carole Collet, Professor in Design for Sustainable Futures, Heather Barnett, Artist and Lecturer MA Art and Science, Nancy Diniz, Architect and Course Leader MA Biodesign, Alice Taylor, Bioengineer and Lecturer in Biology and Living Systems, and Rob Kesseler, Professor of Art, Design and Science.

Living Systems Lab is a research group at Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts London dedicated to exploring the inherent properties of living systems to develop new knowledge in the field of ecology via creative practices in art, design, and architecture. The lab is structured in two strands: the (design) & Living Systems Lab explores bio-informed design research as a disruptive driver for sustainable innovation and regenerative design; the (art) & Living Systems Lab conducts artistic research exploring the interrelationships within complex ecologies and networked systems. |
