iNSTITUTE FOR BiODiGITAL ARCHITECTURE &
GENETICS (iBAG)
Basically, it is about applying the new biological and digital techniques to architecture and design. This led to the creation of the world’s first genetic architecture laboratory in 2000, where genetics began to be applied to architecture (bioluminescent trees, biolamps, bioprinting, electron microscopy structures research, etc.), and the first digital architecture laboratory located in a Spanish school of architecture (design and digital manufacturing). And all organizing an international interdisciplinary group of architects, designers, artists, engineers, biologists, geneticists and philosophers. New understanding from nature and computation, from natural intelligence and artificial intelligence, from bio-learning and machine-learning, to the potential of bio-manufacturing and digital-manufacturing.

Main theme
Biodigital intelligent systems
Biodigital intelligent systems refer to a confluence of principles from biology, digital technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) to create intelligent systems inspired by living organisms through a systemic approach. This field encompasses a wide range of interdisciplinary areas, including bio-inspired robotics, artificial life, evolutionary algorithms, computational neuroscience, and more. They often draw inspiration from biological structures, processes, and mechanisms, highlighting the power of biological systems and natural intelligence to create advanced and innovative technologies to adapt, learn, and solve complex problems. By emulating the principles and mechanisms observed in living organisms, these systems can exhibit remarkable capabilities such as self-organization, self-repair, robustness, and adaptability. Examples include bio-inspired robots to navigate challenging terrains, swarm robotics systems inspired by the collective behavior of social insects, neural networks based on brain, evolutionary algorithms to optimize complex tasks by mimicking natural selection and genetic variation. Finally, Biodigital Intelligent Systems are changing our world and pushing it towards a Biodigital future.
