For designers, across a range of disciplines, emerging fields such as synthetic biology offer the promise of new sustainable materials and structures which may be grown, are self-assembling, self-healing and adaptable to change. While there is a thriving speculative discourse on the future of design in the age of biotechnology, there are few realized design applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, the first in the Bio Design series, acts as a bridge between design speculation and scientific reality and between contemporary design thinking, in areas such as architecture, product design and fashion design, and the traditional engineering approaches which currently dominate biotechnologies. Filled with real examples, \u003ci\u003eLiving Construction\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how living cells construct and transform materials through methods of fabrication and assembly at multiple scales and how designers can utilize these processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martyn Dade-Robertson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138363030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138363038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Martyn Dade-Robertson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438149120255,"sku":"9781138363038","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a015e98-218e-4eb1-95cb-deb7dbb779b2.jpg?v=1777169146","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-construction-martyn-dade-robertson-9781138363038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
