BioMaterials: Designing across scale

Please join us on Tuesday, May 16 @ 3pm Byers Auditorium in Genentech Hall for a presentation BioMaterials - Designing Across Scales. This collaboration between UCSF & California College of the Arts will be featured in the 2023 Biodesign Challenge Presentation in New York City in June. Students and faculty at CCA and UCSF will present their ongoing research and how opportunities might emerge for developing methods of extruded fabrication of architectural components based on the microscopic biological systems of shell building. This event, part of the Academic Alliance between CCA, UCSF & Autodesk Technology Center, brings together designers and research professionals to investigate the potential of biomaterials to reduce embodied carbon in building components. Design team: Claire Lefiler, Kimia Barn Farahnak & Conrad Scheepers [CCA] Fredrick Leon & Elizabeth Martinez-Bond [UCSF]. Instructors: Margaret Ikeda, Evan Jones & Negar Kalantar [CCA] Dyche Mullins [UCSF].
