Architecture in the Materiomic Age | Magnus Larsson | TEDxAthens

Title:
Architecture in the Materiomic Age | Magnus Larsson | TEDxAthens
Description:

Imagine a city made out of wood, suspended above a forest. Or a building grown from crystals. Or imagine houses that double as a protective wall against desert sands and have bacteria reprogrammed to construct those houses for us. Visionary architect Magnus Larsson talks about his projects and the use of smarter materials, some of which haven't been invented yet. He unveils his designs for the upcoming material ages as the Concrete Age shifts towards a new Timber Age and, ultimately, the Materiomic Age.
