A series of MSc graduation projects exploring the growth of microalgae on three-dimensional woven structures — asking what it would mean to design a textile that is genuinely alive, and how that changes the relationship between maker, material, and user.
With Martina Mancini (2025, MSc), Renske van der Peet (MSc), and Joana Martins
