Living Agents in Construction: Protocells and Natural Computing with Rachel Armstrong

I recently had the opportunity to share a few questions with Dr. Rachel Armstrong, specialist on living architecture and protocell technology, Senior TED Fellow and Co-Director of AVATAR (Advance Virtual and Technological Architectural Research) in Architecture & Synthetic Biology at The School of Architecture & Construction, University of Greenwich, London.

Here, I ask Rachel about her design philosophy involving protocells, sharing what its future place might be in the architectural profession.

Dynamic droplets act as agents for a design philosophy that examines the complex relationships between people, materials, the environment and our technologies in an ecological age. (Armstrong, 2012)
