Designing Living Systems To Clean Polluted Water: Bio-Architecture | Shneel Malik | TEDxGateway

TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers, with detailed guidelines available here. This talk explores how buildings can breathe like plant leaves while cleaning polluted water.

Architect and biodesign researcher Shneel Malik showcases this vision with "Indus," a wall featuring a novel biomaterial with microalgae for photosynthesis. Bridging futuristic techniques with cultural practices, her work empowers artisans and revolutionizes water interaction. At UCL's Bio-Integrated Design Lab, Malik investigates transforming urban systems into biological processes, fostering a circular economy. Learn more about TEDx at ted.com/tedx.
