Rachel Wingfield: “ArchiLace: Ecomimetic Space Design” January 27, 2011

Rachel Wingfield of Loop.pH (UK) presents her talk in conjunction with OCADU’s annual Design Competition and the Toronto International Design Festival.

For Wingfield, the synergy of science with nature can serve to address some of today's most urgent problems by promoting energy independence, food security, and "metabolic thinking". Wingfield questions how we can create living environments, synthesising living materials and digital tools, and proposes an emerging new role for designers working at an urban scale.
