¡°Cellular Transformations serves as a reminder to all of us that both the natural and man-made worlds share a common theme - that structure (or form) and function are inexorably linked. Whether at the cellular level or in a city-scape, students in this unique ten-year project explored those interconnections. Dixit and Kim remind us that architecture and biology are not that different and that both feed our imaginations.¡±

¡°The book Cellular Transformations alters our expectations of the built environment. The design of growth mediums and the necessary structures to sustain and support living materials expands the lexicon of performative skins negotiating adverse environmental conditions. Dixit and Kim¡¯s socially-beneficial experimentation demonstrates interdisciplinary research embedded in technical and design issues that are transferable to real-world applications. Nature informs design at the molecular level, connecting ecosystems for a healthy and beautiful future.¡±

Cellular Transformations is a ten-year collaboration between biology and architecture at Washington University in St. Louis to promote new forms of interdisciplinary knowledge and applications. The projects documented in this book are the outcome of a critical analysis of the contemporary world and a new vision of the built environment. This work entailed research and experiments to develop bold new ways to address major societal and environmental challenges.
Our goal is to enable cross-fertilization between disciplines that traditionally do not interact. Blending science, design, and architecture produced creative solutions to real-world problems and promoted teamwork. This exercise also enhanced our own teaching and research. We hope that the power and value of cross-disciplinary collaborations exemplified in this book inspire others to adopt similar strategies to expand the boundaries of pedagogy and train the next generation of creative thinkers.
