BDC Book: Grow the Future: Visions of Biodesign

$40.00

We have now restocked a new edition of Grow the Future: Visions of Biodesign with an updated cover!

Selected from hundreds of artworks and designs from the BDC competition, our first book is a compilation of projects and ideas that are influencing the emerging field of biodesign. In their own words, pioneers and BDC alumni explore the future of biodesign and its role in shaping people’s identities, cultures, and relationships with the living environment.

Beyond being a primer, the book is a celebration of the first five years of BDC and it’s a deep dive into the minds behind biodesign.
