Biomaterials Mini-Workshops

IED SP | Graziela Nivoloni. Alexandre Chien, Enzo Pretti, Gabriel Sotrati, Sayuri Matsumoto

Biomaterials Mini-Workshops
Designed as spaces for reflection and experimentation, the biomaterials workshops introduce the concepts of circularity and regeneration through collective practices that transform everyday organic waste into new materials. More than just exploring technical and tangible aspects, the proposal highlights that the field of biomaterials demands political positioning and socio-environmental responsibility toward territories and biomes, while also valuing the confluences between human and more-than-human lives.

Biodesign Laboratory | Circularity and Biomaterials I IED São Paulo
It's a space for fostering creativity, collaboration, and innovation, connecting teaching, research, and outreach with national and international recognition. More than just developing materials, the Biodesign | Biomaterials and Circularity Laboratory proposes rethinking the very tangible foundations of design, expanding its epistemological boundaries and cultivating inclusive and regenerative futures.

Coordination
An architect and urban planner with a master's degree in Design from the University of São Paulo, Graziela Nivoloni works at the intersection of education, nature, and business, connecting collective intelligence and systems thinking to create confluences between teaching, businesses, and organizations. At IED, she leads the Biodesign | Circularity and Biomaterials Laboratory, serves on the academic board of the Center for Innovation, Design, and Business (CR+IED), and coordinates the undergraduate program in Product and Service Design and courses in partnership with Casa Vogue.
