Biocene
At Studio Biocenewe embrace transdisciplinary practices to create a built environment closely intertwined with nature. Our unique approach combines architecture, biology, ecology, environmental biotechnology and computation to pave the way for a future that actively helps our planet regain its balance. The Biocene serves as both our vision and our goal for a more sustainable world.
vision & mission
Bio-integrated solutions for a green transition into the Biocene address fundamental questions about inhabitation, materiality and biodiversity, through implementation of new biodesign, biofabrication and biotechnology processes.
Our mission is to find our way back to our biological origins to design a new future where photosynthetic built habitats feed from the inexhaustible resources of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

aims
Create a vision for how we will live through the proposition of new building and garden typologies that nurture biodiversity.
Decarbonise the material palette, structures and manufacturing of our built environment using engineered living materials.
Embed the nexus with planetary cycles into designs for a biocene human habitat through bioreceptivity and bioremediation.

teaching and ACADEMIC RESEARch | Bio-ID
Bio-Integrated Design (Bio-ID) is a teaching and research platform founded in 2018 by Cruz and Parker at University College London. It is run conjointly by The Bartlett School of Architecture and the Department of Biochemical Engineering.
The postgraduate MArch/MSc programmes bring together a spectrum of interdisciplinary academics, practitioners and students, combining biodesign with scientific methods.
The Bio-ID lab hosts a number of doctoral researchers in the fields of biofabrication and soft materials; biomineralization; biocentric design; and applied biotechnology for architecture.
