Biosalon: How will the intersection of design and biological fabrication open up to new ways of ‘making’ and ‘crafting’ in the future?

Designers and scientists are exploring the future uses and applications of living matter, and ways to cultivate and grow new materials. Coupled with the evolution of technologies, our understanding of materiality is changing, and new perspectives on what defines a material and its critical context are emerging. Biosalon was set up to provide a critical space for designers and scientists engaged with this debate to come together and discuss the implications of biofabrications for their respective practices
