Deep Green | talk of Claudia Pasquero

MEET presents Deep Green, a talk by Claudia Pasquero on Feb. 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Co-founder with Marco Poletto of ecoLogicStudio, Pasquero has developed a methodology that integrates biology, computation and designin the development of design solutions in an extended cognitive context. The basis on which the studio’s work is developed is PhotoSynthetica, a technology that facilitates scalable design solutions in symbiosis with natural processes.

The talk will explore the intersections between a design cwhich is configured as a synthesis of the relationship between design, nature and technology, and how this emerging dialogue can reconfigure the relationship between the built and natural environments.

A Talk inspired by ecoLogicStudio’s latest book, “Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.”

Claudia Pasquerio’s talk fits into the theoretical groove traced by the recent Biodesign in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, written with Marco Poletto. The text examines the role of design intelligence in contemporary architecture, extending its field of inquiry to the biological and digital realms. Structured in two sections – PhotoSynthetica™ and Deep Green – the text addresses the issues of the urban microbiome and the design of synthetic landscapes, proposing design as a tool operating on geological time scales.

Among ecoLogicStudio’s significant projects is Urban Algae Folly(Milan, 2015), an installation that investigated the potential of photosynthetic architectures in the context of contemporary environmental issues.

One of the latest works, on the other hand, is Deep Forest, currently on view at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark) in the context of Living Structures

A talk for designers, innovators and curious people

The Feb. 20 evening at MEET is aimed at designers, architects, innovators and sustainability enthusiasts who want to learn more about the potential of bio-inspired design. It will be an unmissable opportunity to explore how sustainable technologies can help address global environmental challenges and transform the way we live and create.

MEET, Feb. 20 at 6:30 p.m.

Admission is free with prior reservation.
