How To Grow A House

21 Albemarle Street , London, W1S 4BS

Description

Join Martyn Dade-Robertson as he explores the advances in biotechnology that offer new opportunities for construction, and the new range of materials being developed to grow buildings.

From fungus that could produce bricks grown on Mars, to soil that can strengthen in response to loads, and even bacteria that make concrete able to heal itself.

While we can’t yet grow a building, these technologies offer a glimpse of a future where our buildings—and even our cities—may be more life-sustaining and sustained by life.
