Design and implementation of a small laboratory aimed at the development of biotechnologies for Architecture and Design.
Year: 2017
Role: Implementation Manager
Team: Catalina De Pablo, Sebastián Rodríguez, Francisco Chateau, Fernán Federici.
The implementation of this first version of the Biofabrication Laboratory had as its main challenges, on the one hand, the interaction in a small space (27 m2) of heterogeneous and not very compatible tasks, such as those typical of a biological laboratory (sterility and control of environmental) with tasks typical of an architecture workshop (heavy tools, release of particles into the environment); and on the other hand, the low implementation budget (US$ 1,300), which forced the use of low-cost and open source technologies to solve the environment control requirements.
