Abstract

The article addresses the question whether architecture can embody living systems and if it is possible for concrete craft of physical architecture to transform and move closer to acting within life itself. It notes the possibility for a revolutionary living architecture to emerge by integrating emerging living technologies in computation and synthetic biology with next-generation physical structures. It notes a model of involved research creation that can change how architecture is built.
