Both active and valuable substances can be extracted from algae for a wide range of applications in industry. For the cultivation of microalgae, façade-integrated photobioreactors were developed, which avoid the consumption of arable land.

This avoids the so-called plate-tank problem. The aerosol-based reactor enables the cultivation of terrestrial algae and therefore differs significantly from previous aquatic photobioreactors. A 1:1 prototype was set up at Augsburg University of Applied Sciences as part of a joint research project funded by the BMBF. →

For use in the construction industry, a material board (bio-board) generated from microorganisms is being developed as part of the BMBF-funded "Bio-Board" research project, the properties of which are to be adapted to the specific installation situation by means of controlled growth processes. In addition to improved mechanical properties and geometry and scale independence, the growth-based and thus low-energy manufacturing process of large-area materials is particularly innovative. →

»I wanted to explore the ways, in which serendipity could be included within a design«, said Assistant Professor Burcu Dündar Venner from Mimar Sinan Academy of Fine Arts when she came to Augsburg to present her typefaces. In a stunning exhibition students could see how she created typographic patterns by stitching and embroidering.→
