CCA Exhibition
_Bacterial Tapestries 

Pioneering Biomaterials: Academia and Industry Convergence 2025, CCA, San Francisco, USA

– (January 22 to February 14, 2025)

​

The Pioneering Biomaterials Exhibition and Symposium received notable media attention, reinforcing its role as a vital platform for advancing biomaterial innovation through dialogue between academia, design practice, and industry. By highlighting experimental material research and its ecological implications, the event elevated public and professional awareness of biomaterials as a critical design frontier. Within this context, Bacterial Tapestries demonstrated the potential of bacterial cellulose as a scalable, cultivated textile and architectural material, foregrounding temporality, decay, and ecological lifecycle as intentional design parameters. The work positioned bio-fabrication as a form of bio-collaborative practice, contributing both a technical and cultural perspective to the symposium’s broader impact.
