At a time of climate crisis, the interdisciplinarity of the master’s programmes, for example, applied biology and architecture, encourages students to develop radical new alternatives for tackling the different complex environmental challenges faced by contemporary urban society.
The exhibition also marks the launch of the latest edition of Drivers of Change, a publication developed by Arup’s Foresight team to raise awareness about global issues affecting the future of the built environment, such as depleting natural resources and the need to improve urban food systems. The exciting new forms of practice from The Bartlett propose groundbreaking ways of addressing these issues: they are a taste of things to come.
Bio ID
Some of the new forms of practice on display at the exhibition include Robotic Incremental Sheet Forming, the substitution of bio-materials for concrete and designing in four dimensions: through the fluid interaction of objects, space, people and systems.
Exhibition curated by Ruairi Glynn and Jennifer Greitschus.
