Bio-Integrated Design
Ongoing Research Projects
Cirrus Intensive on the coastline of Saaremaa Island 16-20 August, 2022
Start your Autumn semester with a 5-day intensive on how to incorporate the principles of ecology and living system thinking into bio-integrated and -informed design processes.
Coinciding with the season of seaweed foraging in Estonia, the intensive is embedded within the biosphere of Saaremaa Island, where algae and algae-derived materials can be explored in the broadest sense – from open-ended design speculation to hands-on craftsmanship.
Upon completion of the intensive, you will:
– have an overview of the emerging technologies in algae biology, biomass production, cultivation, harvesting, and extraction (on the example of a local seaweed industry and farm;
– understand the impacts of their (design) decisions into the environment and the society;
– be able to derive material-specific concepts and applications for algal biomasses.
Part of a semester-long course originally developed as a MA-level studio at the Faculty of Design at Academy of Arts, Bio-integrated Design is co-led by the designers’ collective Studio Aine (Kärt Ojavee, Annika Kaldoja, Marie Vihmar), and equals to 3 ECTS.
Applications to the intensive will be accepted on a rolling basis until 27 June 2022 (23:59 GMT+3). The number of IC participants is limited.
No previous field knowledge is required.
Participants´ travel and accommodation costs will be covered by the Nordic-Baltic network of Art and Design – Cirrus.
