About this Item

Hardcover. Three approaches to sustainable architecture-biodigital, bioregional and bioresponsive-from studios centered around biology and chemistry. Architecture Connecting: Living Structures is the first book accompanying a new exhibition series at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and presents three design studios with a diverse use of biology and biochemistry as a basis for their practices: ecoLogicStudio, Atelier LUMA and Jenny Sabin Studio. Conscious of our connection to all living things and tracking technological advances, not least in artificial intelligence tools, the studios are developing new methods to review issues of sustainable architecture and climate concerns. This book unfolds their practices, highlighting some of their most important projects. The richly illustrated catalog also comprises a conversation between each design studio and an expert in the field of architecture: Jan Boelen from Atelier LUMA in conversation with Hashim Sarkis, Jenny Sabin in conversation with Mette Ramsgaard, and ecoLogicStudio in conversation with Mario Carpo. AUTHORS: ecoLogicStudio, founded by Marco Poletti and Claudia Pasquero, is a design studio in London working with biodigital architecture. Atelier LUMA is the research design lab of LUMA Arles, working with bioregional design and architecture. Jenny Sabin Studio is based in Ithaca, NY, and works at the crossroads between architecture and science. 150 illustrations Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Three approaches to sustainable architecture―biodigital, bioregional and bioresponsive―from studios centered around biology and chemistry

Marking the first in a new series of exhibitions, this project from the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art highlights three design studios with biochemistry and biology at the core of their practice. London-based ecoLogicStudio focuses on climate and carbon neutrality, and how photosynthesis can be incorporated into architecture. Atelier LUMA is the research design branch of LUMA Arles, mapping and identifying the local resources of the unique bioregion of Camargue to build its own studio. Finally, the Ithaca, New York–based Jenny Sabin Studio uses theory and knowledge from biology and mathematics to help develop new digital tools and structures that work in interaction with people and nature. This catalog highlights each firm’s most important projects alongside three conversations between the studio founders and an expert architectural critic.
