and University of Waterloo

The architect and artist Zbigniew Oksiuta is experimenting with the possibilities of designing biological spatial structures.

At al&d he will present ‘Breeding Spaces’ a project that envisages vegetable matter as a live habitat, an isolated spatial entity that takes up, transforms and synthesizes matter and energy from its surroundings by biological means and controls all functions and events by internal information.

He will also present his previous ‘Spatium Gelatum” project that investigated ways to form spatial shapes in water.
