Designers in Residence 2020 Care

With Microbes: From Germs to Companions in Urban Harvests

Discover how food growing in cities are spaces of care for both humans and microbes.

Ioana Man

For her residency, Ioana Man has been exploring how architecture can collaborate with biology to create healthier, more sustainable environments through data visualisations that map microbial communities in West London. Using new scientific technology, she has designed a series of interactive digital walks that imagine a future where agriculture is essential to urban life, and food gardens as caring spaces for both humans and microbes alike.
