It’s time to learn about Biodigital Architecture
Alberto T. Estévez is a renowned expert in Biodigital Architecture. He has written several books, and among those we can find two that explain in detail what Biodigital Architecture is: Biodigital Architecture & Genetics I and Biodigital Architecture & Genetics II. They are valued in more than 90€, but guess what? You can get them for FREE for being a participant in the course + competition. Click in the image to download them!
