Rachel Armstrong: Architecture that repairs itself?

The video discusses the limitations of Victorian technologies in sustainable architecture and introduces metabolic materials as a solution. These materials mimic living systems and are developed using a bottom-up approach. Protocell technology, a key focus, can transform inert matter into living-like systems, offering potential applications in architecture, such as reclaiming Venice by growing a limestone reef. The video emphasizes the global applicability of this technology, highlighting its potential to connect architecture with nature sustainably.
