"Biological Origami: Using Living Cells as Design Tools"
IAP Course, 2015 Winter, MIT
Sponsor: MIT-SUTD Collaboration Office | MIT Media Lab | Dept. of Chemical Engineering at MIT
The course is to explore the tangible biological interface and digital design vision to reach a controllable performance. It provides students with the concepts and tools to design biological origami with living microorganisms. Through the course, synthetic biology, architectural modelling and tangible design are seamlessly integrated together.
