CyanoCement
Materiales de construcción fotosintéticos microbianos
El cianocemento es un biocomponente transparente y tridimensional que contiene un elemento químico intensivo de origen vegetal. Este material utiliza microorganismos fotosintéticos para la fijación de minerales y absorbe CO₂ activo durante y después de la producción. Permite una fabricación de material energéticamente eficiente y es apto para arquitecturas no tridimensionales que requieren un diseño regenerativo y kohlenstoffarme. El color gris de los materiales realza visiblemente su actividad biológica.

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
