HBBE launches Living Textiles as 5th Research Theme
April 8, 2024
Visit our work at Edinburgh Science Festival this year!
HBBE is present with several exhibition pieces in the main atrium of the National Museums Scotland on Chambers Street in Edinburgh.
HBBE is showcasing parts of ‘BioMateriOME’, a Biomaterial Library exhibiting work across several HBBE research groups as Living Construction, Living Textiles and Microbial Environments.
The library contains samples such as Bacterial Cellulose, Microbially induced Calcite (MICP) and Mycelium Composite Samples.
The Living Textiles Research Group additionally displays the ‘Growing Room’ Project, a three-metre high architecture composed of fungal mycelium and knitted British wool. The Group also presented insights into the design and biofabrication process of the specifically developed piece at the Growing Home After Hours Event (04.04.24)
The festival is on until 14th April. #EdiSciFest
