Genetic Architectures Research GroupIt involves an interdisciplinary approach to the application of genetics in architecture. It is based on two perspectives: the real, natural and direct working with geneticists, and the metaphorical, artificial and digital using CAD-CAM technologies.
It is a new look at ecology and environment introducing biological techniques, searching with digital tools a biodigital fusion in architecture. It focuses on the relevance of the new digital paradigms in the design process, on digital architecture and the most progressive experimental architecture. New technologies bring us closer to new production processes (Data Driven Production, CNC, 3D Printers) which create non-standard architecture - more in line with the logic that governs the genes (variation, mutation, hybridisation) - rather than focusing on industrialised chain processes. This line has opened a new understanding of architecture with new cybernetic-digital and ecological-environmental design. |

RESEARCH PROJECTS
"Genetic Barcelona Project", 1st phase, 2003-2006 © Alberto T. Estévez
"Genetic Barcelona Project", 2nd phase, 2007-2010 © Alberto T. Estévez
Genetic research about bioluminescence for architectural applications: Bio-lamp, "battery" with bioluminescent bacteria that live originally in abyssal fish. In 2008, for first time in architecture history, without electrical installation, a whole home was systematically illuminated with bioluminescence. Searching efficiency this phase also introduces in other non-bioluminescent bacteria and plants the genes group responsible for bioluminescence in previously mentioned bacteria.
"Genetic Barcelona Project", 3rd phase, 2011-2014 © Alberto T. Estévez
The genetic creation of bioluminescent plants for urban and domestic use: ornamental plants with bacteria and insects genes for bioluminescence.
Applying living tisues to architecture, 2007-2010 © Alberto T. Estévez
Research into genetic control of cell growth, making living tissue grow as a building material: cellular masses that become alive walls that emerge alone, soft and furry architecture that grows.
Microscopic Structures, 2008-today © Alberto T. Estévez
Research about layers where the cellular masses emerge and organize themselves as the first structural level, which is very relevant for architecture: use of electron microscope allows us to see a perspective of thousands of magnifications.
Designing from microscopic structures. Examples of microscopic structures photographed by Alberto T. Estévez with an electronic microscope, with different magnifications, from 50 to 20,000 magnifications depending on the case.
The knowledge of the moment in which the amorphous masses of cells self-organize in a first structural level is relevant for the architect and the designer. Since architecture and design must also meet structural, physical, economic and efficiency requirements, such as living beings. This is something that can be learned from nature (bio-learning). Although the observation of that level can only be reached with an electron microscope. So this tool becomes valuable for investigation. Well, such a study allows us to understand the original structures of nature. And as we have been doing since 2008 until today, we first seek to discover, analyze and assess the microscopic structures of animals and plants. And on top of that knowledge, the digital design of real projects can then emerge, through computational strategies, also morphogenetic, and machine-learning, which corroborate the genetic similarities between the biological world and the digital world.
Diseñando desde estructuras microscópicas. Ejemplos de estructuras microscópicas fotografiadas por Alberto T. Estévez con microscopio electrónico, con diferentes aumentos, de unos 50 a unos 20.000 aumentos según los casos.
El conocimiento del momento en que las masas amorfas de células se auto-organizan en un primer nivel estructural es relevante para el arquitecto y el diseñador. Ya que la arquitectura y el diseño deben igualmente atender solicitaciones estructurales, físicas, económicas y de eficiencia, como los seres vivos. Esto es algo que puede aprenderse de la naturaleza (bio-learning). Aunque a la observación de ese nivel sólo puede llegarse con microscopio electrónico. Entonces, esta herramienta se convierte en valiosa para la investigación. Pues tal estudio permite entender las estructuras primigenias de la naturaleza. Y según hemos ido haciendo desde el año 2008 hasta hoy, primero se busca descubrir, analizar y valorar estructuras microscópicas de animales y vegetales. Y sobre ese conocimiento se puede luego hacer emerger el diseño digital de proyectos reales, mediante estrategias computacionales, también morfogenéticas, y de machine-learning, que corroboran las similitudes genéticas entre el mundo biológico y el digital.

Research about levels of fractality that can be detected in living structures using electron microscope: this it the way cellular masses grow like structural systems.

CAD-CAM technologies to produce real architecture at 1:1 scale, following a microscopic research, in this case about radiolarian and pollen structures. In this way started the studies for extracting the genetic rules and the structural parameters for application with digital tools. Having its digital DNA that let also the architectural design “emerge” alone, have been manufactured different kind of shapes and uses.

Biodigital Barcelona Bench, 2010 - 2016 © Alberto T. Estévez
A shape that can perform for many human ways of sitting, covered with natural grass, the bench brings back nature into the city, a smart and useful nature which can be lived and experienced. Transitions between different sections are digitally manufactured with wood rips.

MEMÒRIA CIENTÍFICA Grup de Recerca Consolidat “Arquitectures Genètiques” 2017 SGR 01039 (selecció període 2017-2021)
Les principals activitats de recerca dutes a terme pel Grup, en relació als objectius en aquest període 2017-2021, figuren a continuació, tot indicant els elements de producció científica més rellevants. L'activitat científica d'aquest grup –“Arquitectures Genètiques”– interdisciplinari i internacional es desenvolupa des de l'any 2000 entorn a un doble enteniment de la genètica, el biològic i el digital, en la seva aplicació a l’arquitectura, i la seva fusió biodigital. El Grup ha estat repetides vegades competitiu, amb projectes del Ministeri corresponent i de la Generalitat, així com d’entitats privades. Tres vegades consecutives reconegut com a Grup Consolidat (2009, 2014 i 2017), amb un màster des del 2000 –“Màster en Arquitectura Biodigital” (oficial del 2007 al 2020)–, nombroses publicacions (només entre 2017 i 2021, 53 llibres i capítols de llibres, 23 articles, 103 ponències) i activitats, com ara també l'organització de seminaris anuals des del 2000, i 5 congressos internacionals triennals des del 2008, amb un total de 22 tesis doctorals ja llegides (8 des de 2017 a 2021), 3 ja dipositades i 7 més en procés, etc. Així doncs, simplement en veure els títols de totes aquestes activitats i producció científica, es veu fàcilment l’acompliment de les seves recerques. Dir també que al llarg d'aquests anys 2017-2021 s'han produït dos incorporacions importants al Grup: Yomna K. Abdallah i Angad Warang.

Les principals activitats de recerca dutes a terme pel Grup, en relació als objectius en aquest període 2017-2021, figuren a continuació, tot indicant els elements de producció científica més rellevants. L'activitat científica d'aquest grup –“Arquitectures Genètiques”– interdisciplinari i internacional es desenvolupa des de l'any 2000 entorn a un doble enteniment de la genètica, el biològic i el digital, en la seva aplicació a l’arquitectura, i la seva fusió biodigital. El Grup ha estat repetides vegades competitiu, amb projectes del Ministeri corresponent i de la Generalitat, així com d’entitats privades. Tres vegades consecutives reconegut com a Grup Consolidat (2009, 2014 i 2017), amb un màster des del 2000 –“Màster en Arquitectura Biodigital” (oficial del 2007 al 2020)–, nombroses publicacions (només entre 2017 i 2021, 53 llibres i capítols de llibres, 23 articles, 103 ponències) i activitats, com ara també l'organització de seminaris anuals des del 2000, i 5 congressos internacionals triennals des del 2008, amb un total de 22 tesis doctorals ja llegides (8 des de 2017 a 2021), 3 ja dipositades i 7 més en procés, etc. Així doncs, simplement en veure els títols de totes aquestes activitats i producció científica, es veu fàcilment l’acompliment de les seves recerques. Dir també que al llarg d'aquests anys 2017-2021 s'han produït dos incorporacions importants al Grup: Yomna K. Abdallah i Angad Warang.
