Rachel Armstrong is Co-Director of AVATAR
(Advanced Virtual and Technological Architectural Research) in Architecture
& Synthetic Biology at The School of Architecture & Construction,
University of Greenwich, London.
She is a Senior TED Fellow, and Visiting Research Assistant at the Center for Fundamental Living Technology, Department of Physics and Chemistry, University of Southern Denmark. Her research applies biological principles to design across a whole range of biological and environmental systems where humans, organisms and their architectural 'niches' are subject to technological change. Her current projects investigate a new approach to building materials called ‘living architecture,’ that suggests it is possible for our buildings to share some of the properties of living systems and where people co-evolve with their surroundings.
