Tashkeel Talk: Bio Digital Architecture

How can nature be used as a constructive feature of sustainable design? This Tashkeel Talk with architect-artist Inés J. Pedras will explore bio-digital architectures as a multi-disciplinary scientific approach to sustainable design that goes beyond using nature as inspiration for aesthetics, but rather studying and applying construction principles that are found in natural environments.

Inés's experimentations in geometric and biological processes allow her to apply those principles to built environments, especially architectural design, engineering and fabrications. Her works aspire to establish a new multi-disciplinary genealogy, with nature as master. By observing geometry and structural elements within nature, including its ecology, the quality of natural light, and symbolism of form, she creates works that consist of generated patterns, reflecting the underlying principles of organic forms.
