Tests engineered living materials for construction, suggesting new regulatory pathways.
Engineered Living Materials (ELMs) challenge conventional regulatory frameworks by introducing biological activity, adaptability, and metabolic function into material systems. The REMEDY proposes a novel form of living architecture through an archibiome tattoo: engineered interkingdom microbial inks designed to functionalise and decorate building surfaces while providing probiotic benefits, including microbial resilience, carbon sequestration, oxygen production and bioremediation.
