Alisa Andrasek: Biothing

In the wake of the digital revolution, a young international generation of architects is experimenting with the potential of the computer in the field of architectural design. At the cutting edge of this research, Alisa Andrasek and her biothing laboratory (created in 2001) are exploring a new materiality of architecture, on the frontier between biology, mathematics and genetics. Through an iconography recounting her design process and original essays, this book presents the scientific and aesthetic challenges that are attuned to the mutations of the contemporary world.
