HOW TO BIODESIGN AUDIO RECAP

Climate crisis asks for regenerative design. With the meetup series How to Biodesign, BlueCity Lab provides a platform for and by bioneers (pioneers in biodesign). Together with Emma van der Leest (founder of BlueCity Lab, we explore the opportunities from a systemic approach to raw material flows, making smart use of the latest knowledge and expertise about circular design, but also from biotechnology and biochemistry.

How to Biodesign #29: Yeast, circular micro-factories

Yeasts are part of the fungi kingdom. The first yeast originated hundreds of millions of years ago, and as of today we know at least 1,500 species. How can we adapt the metabolism of yeasts to make them perform better? Alongside hosts Emma van der Leest and Mark Slegers, experts Peter Sseguya (Team GENAB), Hilla van der Kaa (Those Vegan Cowboys) join the conversation.

How to Biodesign #28: Breaking down fibers with enzymes

Natural fibers will replace many synthetic materials and bioneers throughout the Netherlands are looking for methods to separate lignin and cellulose. By using enzymes, many polluting catalytic processes can be replaced. How can cell technology be used to make new materials? Enzymes are very expensive, although they are produced by nature itself: the mycelium of mushrooms contains many active enzymes. Can we use enzymes as one of the building blocks of the future biodesigner: in this meet-up we talk about how we can use these beauties and how to avoid high costs researching them. Listen back to the conversation Natasha Hulst (Biomimicry Institute) and Nick van Biezen had with experts Fabiola Polli (BioFashionTech) and Dasha Tsapenko (Atelier Dasha Tsapenko) THANKS TO The How to Biodesign meetups are made possible with the support of the creative industries fund NL/Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie.

How to Biodesign #27: Bio binders and coatings

Biomaterials like mycelium and kombucha leather are often not water-resistant and therefore need a coating. Biopolymers like beeswax or natural rubbers provide solutions, yet fungi can also provide an interesting coating for biomaterials. How can designers apply these innovations, and how do you choose or develop a coating? This episode’s speakers Host: Yophi Ignacia Co-host: Anna Wetzel (15fingers.online) Experts: Itika Gupta (Studio Carbon) Arie Hooimeijer (PaperInnovator) THANKS TO The How to Biodesign meetups are made possible with the support of the creative industries fund NL/Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie.

How to Biodesign #26: Natural cosmetics

Traditional cosmetics can be harmful for nature and your skin. Natural cosmetics are an alternative that uses ingredients available in nature. But it can even go further than that, by enlisting the help of microbes to create sustainable alternatives to polluting ingredients. How do we design a production & usage system for these natural bio cosmetics? Let's find out with host Yophi Ignacia, co-host Yeliz Mert, and experts: Karin Berkoudt (Kusala) & Shara Ticku (C16 Biosciences).

How to Biodesign #25 Open source biolab equipment & recipes

Lab equipment is often expensive and there's already a lot of machines out there that, with a little modification, can perform the function needed to support your experiment. How and where can you find tips & tricks to make those modifications - and most importantly - how do you do this safely? Let's find out with hosts Emma van der Leest and Andes Vreeken and experts Daniel Grushkin (Biodesigned & Genspace) and Kuang-Yi Ku (TW BioArt).

How to Biodesign #24: Using invasive species as a resource

🦞An invasive species is an introduced organism that becomes overpopulated and negatively alters its new environment. Although their ability to multiply quickly is often seen as a negative property, there might be instances where we could benefit from this. How can we use these unwanted guests as raw materials for circular solutions and add value to their vigor? Let's find out with: Host Yophi Ignacia, Co-host Marit Scheulderman and speakers: Alexandra Fruhstorfer & Erik van Schaften.

How to Biodesign #23: CO2 absorbing materials

🌿 CO2 absorbing materials: a claim that more and more producers connect to their product. Most of the time this refers to a product’s entire life cycle, but can it also be circular? Various designers, scientists and entrepreneurs work on such materials. And in this meet-up we higlight two of them: one made from longlasting wood, and the other made from a fast-growing crop. With: Host Natasha Hulst & Co-host Sven Jense (Co-founder of the Climate Cleanup) Rik Ruigrok: Circulair Executive Officer at Herso Circulaire Houtbewerkers & Stijntje Jaspers, Co-founder of Fibershed.

How to Biodesign #22: Insulation solutions from nature

🌿 For the insulation of our houses, natural materials are often forced to have exactly the same properties as the fossil variant. However, old crafts and new materials often require a different approach. How, for example, can we use mycelium and biomimicry to look at challenges such as insulation? Lets find out with: Mark Slegers, Jennifer de Jonge, Thomas Pijnenborgh & Arnoud Hanenburg.
