Lecture Synopsis:
In this presentation Martyn will introduce the work of the Living Construction Group integrating the design of Engineered Living Materials into building construction at multiple scales. Through in vivo (in the living) and in silico (digital computational) work, he will describe the first steps towards systems that integrate the analysis and synthesis of material construction through engineered biological agents.
