SUMMARY:

From a conceptual guideline, morphological analysis and material experimentation, we propose to explore the different practices necessary to operate biological materials in a biotechnological lab.
Starting from the idea that design must find a way to develop in a sustainable way, and that it is essential to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective, we intend to work with resources provided by nature in a biotechnological laboratory. Our research in this field, have allowed us to glimpse what components such as algae, fungi, fibers of fruits and vegetables as well as many others, can give us the possibility of operating in truly sustainable ways, to achieve designs and materials of bio objects that take into account not only the environment but also the sociocultural aspects of the society in which we live. We will be able to rethink the way in which it is designed and produced today, and in this sense it will also deepen the design of material typologies of applicability in multiple fields of design based on the variability of its spatial morphological dimensions. Operating in a biotechnological interdisciplinary laboratory places us in a technological paradigm shift that we must face and problematize to devise action strategies that reinforce and emphasize the dimensions of sustainability, ecology, social practices. From an epistemological model supported by the binding dynamics and theories of complexity, we will seek to establish a work methodology that contributes to the project and design practices. In this sense, the incorporation and concretion of a bio technological laboratory will contribute to these cultural and disciplinary changes.
