Biological Future.
Evolutionary Approach To The Biological Architecture.

Studio Description

Nature is objectively given and not projective planned.
-Jaques Monod, “Chance and Necessity”, 1971

“…is practically unrealistic to do better than organism, in his natural habitat.”
Richard Levontin, in “The God Delusion”, Richard Dawkins, 2006

Solutions of evolution are ideal and objective.

Living organisms are perfect-developed systems created for their genes to survive and to reproduce.

One of the greatest achievements of evolution is autopoiesis – “self-creation.”-

living beings create themselves, arise from themselves.

At the same time some become nourishment for others, creating a closed cycle of energy which works almost without waste. It is evolutionary cannibalism. Organisms devour each other.

Evolution has used in a perfect way the “imperfection” of matter.

Within the boundaries of the economical laws of thermodynamics arose the tremendously divers self-creating and self-reproducing biological system that is full of beauty and grandeur.

Planet Earth is home to millions of species.

“If any animal in the wild indulges in unnecessary activity, natural selection favors his rivals that dedicate more time to survival or procreation activities. Nature cannot afford on frivolous jeu d’spirit. “(1)

Life is extremely subtle, precise cosmic game.

All organisms are interrelated with each other and all processes depend on each other. Life uses the sun’s primal energy in the most effective way.

It creates minimum entropy for maximum organization.

This is a big challenge to human culture, which forgot about the great potential of matter and the information contained therein.

How would our civilization look, if it would be alpoietic?

The aim of the experiments in the studio is to investigate, if the principles of life can literally be transformed to the macro world, to our global techno sphere, to the human habitats. By investigating the chemical, biological and genetic principles of life, we will strive to create the foundations of biological architecture and work out the biological visions of the future.
