HOW PROTOCELLS CAN MAKE 'STUFF' MUCH MORE INTERESTING

摘要

Rachel Armstrong explains why living systems with their own metabolisms provide more exciting and far-reaching solutions than conventional building materials. She also explicitly explains why the pursuit of protocell technology, which enables us to artificially design living systems, is so much more promising than established methods, such as incorporating high-maintenance biological features - green walls or roofs - into existing urban context or applying biomimicry to traditional materials.
