Using nature\u2019s own materials, like fungal roots to bind agricultural wastes, microalgae to harvest energy from the sun and even the versatile metabolisms of microbes, these series of works imagine human development as a collaboration of many different kind of communities &#8211; humans, creatures, plants, and natural forces. \u00a0Collaborations that can radically change the present negative impact that our species has on the world.<\/p>\n<p>Widening the boundaries of traditional architectural practice, going beyond current notions of sustainability, and seeking new collaborations with biologists, environmentalists and ecologists, these projects ambitiously propose regenerative futures where our human presence is restorative for the planetary health.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone is welcome to visit the <strong>Group Exhibition Studio Bio-Craftsmanship 2021\/22<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>March 20-27, 2022<br \/>\nEvery day, 14:00-18:00<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>@ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiels.org\/en\/events\/journee-de-leau\">Water Days<\/a> event<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Marais Wiels, Project Room<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Av.
