Bio-Digital Design

Bio-Digital Design is a way of making things that uses both digital tools and ideas from living systems, like how plants grow or how cells work. In Living Technology, Bio-Digital Design can use sensors and smart materials that react to changes in the environment, such as light or temperature, to create objects or spaces that can change shape or function by themselves. Designers can use computer programs to simulate how living things behave, then use those results to guide how they build real products or buildings. This approach helps create designs that can adapt, repair themselves, or even grow over time, using both digital instructions and biological processes.
