Karolina Bloch

Research Assistant

Karolina is a research assistant in prototyping biological architecture at the HBBE, Newcastle University. Within the Responsible Interactions theme, she is involved in development of the prototypes for an experimental building - the OME, currently working on the two prototypes - Bacterial Cellulose Façade and Bio-Cellular Concrete Prototype. In her work, she is investigating the potential of full-scale prototyping as a method for exploration, testing and understanding the properties of biological materials, with a strong focus on the potential applications of Bacterial Cellulose in the built environment.
