Art, Ecology and Regenerative Making An exhibition bringing together practitioners working where ecological intelligence meets computational craft. Three artists exploring how living matter, digital tools, and regenerative processes can reshape the way we make, each in their own voice, each asking what art becomes when it collaborates with life. Featuring: Nof Nathansohn, an architect and designer reimagining fabrication as a living process. Her work merges computational design with soil-and-seed 3D printing, where robotics extrude earth infused with plant life, allowing structures to germinate, root, and evolve over time. Nathansohn treats materials as active agents, using digital tools to initiate ecological processes rather than dictate final forms. Tipaponr Tharawongthawat (Tipa), a biodesign practitioner whose work examines how interior and architectural design can gently shift towards ecological responsibility. Through biodesign-led experimentation, she explores materials, processes, and spatial strategies that prioritise ecological care, inviting design to move in harmony with both human and non-human needs. Peter Nasielski, an interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of living systems and generative design. His practice integrates microalgae cultures, biomaterial research, and parametric geometries to create living artworks that model regenerative futures. Through symbiotic domestic objects that produce oxygen and edible biomass, he demonstrates how design and ecology can co-author new forms of life-supporting systems. TY Ceramics integrates plants and clay into functional interior systems, using sculptural ceramic forms to reintroduce living ecologies into dense urban spaces and encourage deeper, more meaningful relationships between people, materials, and the natural world. Venue: The Swiss Church, 79 Endell Street, Covent Garden, London WC2 H9D, Ground Floor Event Date: 27th – 30th November, 2025 Experience an exhibition where materials grow, systems co-evolve, and art becomes a living act of care.

Get ready — CODE & CRAFT lands at The Swiss Church, Covent Garden, Nov 28–30. Free with RSVP — link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Meet Tipa Co (@tipaxbiodesign ), the biodesign practice of Bangkok-based designer Tipaponr Tharawongthawat (Tipa) — an interior architect reimagining material life cycles through science, craft, and care for the planet.⁠ ⁠ At CODE & CRAFT, she presents Re/Marmor, a project that transforms waste into luminous interior panels using cyanobacteria to biologically produce calcium carbonate — the same mineral that forms marble. Inspired by Carrara’s quarry landscapes, the work offers a gentle, circular alternative to high-impact materials.⁠ ⁠ A practice rooted in biodesign, humility, and ecological responsibility.⁠ ⁠ #CODEandCRAFT #ClusterCrafts #ClusterArtist

Substack post out now! Biomineralisation and Interior Architecture with Tipaponr Tharawongthawat @tipaxbiodesign Kirsten and Akir sit down with Tipaponr to discuss the role of compassion in design, billion-year-old materials, systems thinking and her eight years of experience in interior architecture in Bangkok and beyond. How can we challenge the limited lifespan of commercial materials? How can we work and design kindly? And how can we transform waste in the construction industry?

🌱 Tipaponr (@tipaxbiodesign ) shares her insights on biomineralisation with cyanobacteria Synechococcus sp. 7002 and her vision for sustainable material innovation. In our latest episode, she outlines how she created bio-marble—a revolutionary material inspired by billion-year-old processes. Working at the intersection of interior architecture and biodesign, Tipaponr discusses how compassion in design, systems thinking, and a reimagination of waste in the construction industry can challenge the fleeting lifespan of commercial materials. How can we design with kindness? How can waste become a resource? And what role do microorganisms play in reshaping the future of materials? 🌍 🎧 Watch/listen to our full conversation through the link in bio to dive into her process and philosophy. Tipaponr is an interior architect turned biodesigner with over eight years of experience in Bangkok and beyond. Her work explores sustainable systems and materials that aim to transform the construction industry. - - - - - #biodesign #sustainability #regenerativedeisgn #biomineralisation #marble #cyanobacteria #environmentaldesign #cyanobacteria #biomarble #remarmor #Synechococcus

Tipaponr Tharawongthawat @tipaxbiodesign is a registered interior architect dedicated to finding a creative yet gentle approach for the design and construction industries, in the hope of creating an ecologically resilient future. Her graduate project, RE / MARMOR, reimagines marble interiors through biomineralization. By harnessing Cyanobacteria, Tipaponr encourages a shift in our aesthetic and material choices to minimise land degradation and foster harmony with nature. In our upcoming episode, Kirsten and Akir sit down with her to discuss the role of care in design, billion-year-old materials, and her eight years of experience in commercial, residential, and hospitality interior architecture across Asia. Crucially, she explores how we can transform waste in the construction industry. - - - - - #biodesign #biomineralization #remarmor #cyanobacteria #sustainability #regenerativedesign #marble #interiorarchitecture

Started with learning more about lichen as I have a favouritism towards their colour, their varieties and how they are the big communities consisting of different species. The images taken through a mini student microscope and an iPhone.

The Re/Marmor project first start with strolling in Hampstead Heath. As a reminder from my first project with Biodesign peeps, to start looking closer. Once we notice the little guys we notice them everywhere.
