Diatom de-science

The exhibition “Diatom De-Science” represents an in-depth exploration of the relationship between design and science, focusing on diatoms—photosynthetic unicellular organisms widely found in aquatic environments. These microalgae, characterized by their intricate silica shells, have served as inspiration for the creation of objects and installations that merge aesthetics with functionality.

Through a multidisciplinary approach, Diatom De-Science invites visitors to reflect on the importance of conscious design, learning from nature to develop sustainable and innovative solutions.

The exhibition is part of a growing interest in biomimicry, a discipline that studies and imitates natural strategies to solve human problems.

Diatom De-Science stands as a significant example of how observing and analyzing natural forms can influence and enrich the creative design process, offering new perspectives for creating objects that are simultaneously functional, aesthetic, and sustainable.
