Nature Driven Design: How to Survive Plastics
Dr. Pinar Yoldas discusses her award-winning nature-based design, including her creation, “Hollow Ocean,” which was selected for the 2021 Venice Biennale. Moving beyond prototypes, Pinar Yoldas envisions and builds “ecotypes.”
Integrating drawing and sculpture with bio-engineering centered around the climate crisis, Dr. Yoldas works in the mixed realm of architecture, design and speculative biology. Pinar Yoldas is an associate professor at UC San Diego as well as the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital Grant and is the author of An Ecosystem of Excess. She works in between architecture, design and the biological sciences, creating a mix of architectural installations, kinetic sculptures and media. Her work has been featured in Arte TV, Die Welt, The Creators Project, Art21 Blog, Der Spiegel, Vogue Turkey and Artlink BioArt issue, to name a few.
