CyanoCement
Mikrobielle photosynthetische Baumaterialien
CyanoCement ist ein bahnbrechender, 3D-druckbarer Biozement, der den kohlenstoffintensiven herkömmlichen Zement ersetzt. Dieses Material nutzt photosynthetische Mikroben zur Bindung von Mineralien und fängt aktiv CO₂ während und nach der Produktion ein. Es ermöglicht eine energiearme Materialbildung und ist für nicht tragende Architekturelemente konzipiert, wodurch eine regenerative und kohlenstoffarme Bauweise gefördert wird. Die grüne Farbe des Materials bestätigt visuell seine biologische Aktivität.

The project is developed by an interdisciplinary team from the Disrupt Design Lab at the Faculty of Architecture and Town Planning and the Applied Genomics Lab at the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering. It brings together architects, designers, and biologists with expertise in microbiology, material science, computational design, and architectural fabrication. United by an interest in photosynthetic microbes, the team explores how biological processes can capture atmospheric carbon and form mineral-based building materials through microbial biocementation at an architectural scale
