Biotech designer
what do you miss ?

be very curious and bold
explorative path - very indvidual
frustration - environmental responsability (not "sustainability")
systeme of inclusiveness with the "other"
symbiotic way of collaborating with the "other"
difficulty for designers to reach the scientific community
brain energy 
use less materials - use pure material to recycle - have a global and long term vision
perspective on aesthetics (major in fashion...)
backdoors "fake biologist / not a fashion designer / ..."


    * consider failures as 
    * from a privilege place/ hobby/ curiosity to 
    * interdisciplinary collaboration 


Design partners
Where we see it /fields

design companies
fairs, festivals, ... 
experts in specific fields for applications
dissemination
open source in industry "prehistory of a movement"
"take a risk on your own"

confusion by marketing irrealistic - illusion
less money makes you more creative
scaling up is difficult

value, regulation
fully certification to reach the market

    * educator, children
    * illusion is for the field of art??
    
    * why scale up industrially ??? > other model
    

___ questions ___

"stop the bological process" = kill the living organism / because it´s alive it dyes


Jeanne - 
philosophical vision of death> if an interaction remains alive -> infinite life
dying is a necessary moment for regeneration
live - transform - decay - 


Eric - biodesigner
education - changing curriculum and methods
no teachers yet
online database + dedicated working place
different profiles of students < some want to be part of pionnering some not > well the ones who doon´t then they don´t


__
life cycle asssessment of a material is the only way for responsability and sustainability
how to effectively communicate?
water is possible to quantify but energy used to create the machine is mostly unknown
cradle to cradle - 


Valérie -
political and legal frame
dystopian outcomes?? > don´t understimate and anticipate
permit for growing an algae in a petry dish in NL
no fight but help them understand the value of changing the system
materials classified as waste... 
opportunism

European Space Agency to grow architecture on Mars and the Moon
> we are bringing living organisms else where ??

__ - fasion designer from NL
are we teachers? / teaching-sharing for inspiring and transmitting, open minds and perspectives
can our vision be concretized to change
"know your strength"
ambassadors / makers / 
raise a collective voice and address policy makers
Biofabricate conference in NY is an attempt to gather this strength
all come together
online platforms for collective efforts
link industries , not only creative ones but difficult to convince : "we have our own market"
best practice examples + documentation = teaching

How do we future save the ideas around the table today : cooperation > online tools
* Realistic business thinking > how do we engage in a business to really have a take?
