Studio ‚Human Habitat as Biological Living System‚ at Rensselaer School of Architecture is a cross-disciplinary research platform on the edge between art, technology and science, dealing with key environmental, cultural and economic issues to investigate universal principle of human habitat as a biological household on planet Earth. The general subject of research is to create the conditions for the development of a living, biological space.
The aim of this studio is to establish new sensitivity and respect to the cosmic richness of matter. In this new position the students assume the responsibility of a scientists and rather work as a researchers then an
architect-creator. Student‚ creative energy will be used not to develop
forms, but explore conditions that will enable the self-creation of autonomous physical, chemical and biological processes. This attitude radically differs from that of the architect, whose objective is to give the existing matter a new shape.
The key to this investigation is material science. For this reason the
research examines biologically active matter that transfer information and energy through liquid medium and enables unknown in architecture self-organizing processes.
