As a principle investigator, Phil’s research in the context of two EU-funded Future and Emerging Technology (FET) projects focuses on the symbiotic relationships between robots and natural plants, and the development of fungal architectures - the topic of this podcast episode.
Phil Ayres joined the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture (CITA) at the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen in 2009 after a decade of teaching and research at the Bartlett, UCL in the United Kingdom. His research primarily focuses on the design and production of novel bio-hybrid architectural systems and the development of complementary design environments.
Phil teaches at Masters and PhD level and is also the editor of the book ‘Persistent Modelling - Extending the Role of Architectural Representation’.Producer/Author European Commission URL https://play.acast.com/s/behind-the-scenes-conversations-with-researchers-and-innovat/episode-2-the-cook-the-fungi-and-his-architecture Persons Phil Ayres
