ecoLogicStudio reimagines domesticity through microbial architectural installation
- DeepForest is a microbial architectural installation created by ecoLogicStudio in collaboration with the University of Innsbruck and the Bartlett UCL, featured at the We the Bacteria exhibition in Milan.
- The installation aims to recreate domestic spaces as active microbial ecosystems through biotechnological systems that integrate architecture, biology, and environmental conditions.
- Components like Photosynthesizers, Biodegraders, and Carbon storers work together to capture carbon, degrade waste, and store carbon in a visually appealing manner.
- ecoLogicStudio's design merges biology with digital fabrication, compressing forest ecologies into a controlled interior scale.
- The installation emphasizes visibility of technical systems like algae growth chambers and mycelial substrates, integrating them into the architectural language.
- DeepForest also features the Zolla bench for live mycelium cultivation, highlighting real-time material transformation and user interaction with biologically active surfaces.
- The project promotes cyclical material use, passive environmental modulation, and open-source system integration for future biotechnological applications in architecture.
- Displayed at the 24th International Exposition, DeepForest represents a tangible biotechnological living system that blurs the lines between natural and built environments.
- The installation opens to the public on May 12th, 2025, showcasing the integration of microbial architecture and sustainable design practices.
- DeepForest serves as a prototype for future biotechnological applications, emphasizing accessible and distributed cultivation of photosynthetic and fungal organisms.
