GROW THE FUTURE: VISIONS OF BIODESIGN

Our book is a deep dive into the perspectives shaping biodesign. Thank you to all of our supporters who have already purchased a book and helped to successfully fund our Kickstarter campaign.

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.

*Please note, we are only shipping books within the USA at this time.
