Lars van Vianen – Bioreceptive Environments. A Biophilic Design Strategies on the Meta-Scale

Lars van Vianen is a meta-designer and founding director of Scape Agency. Proceeding from a background in interactive art, experience design and parametric architecture, he explores the convergence of synthetic biology, materials science, artificial intelligence, and robotic construction. He launched Scape Agency in 2020. Scape Agency is a spatial innovation collective that dreams, discovers and designs the everyday of tomorrow. This lecture will cover the integration of living systems into architectural practices, fostering spaces that are not only conducive to human well-being but also actively engage with biological entities.
