Biodesign Challenge
Exhibition by Industrial Design students of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana
The exhibition presents three projects developed by students of the postgraduate study programme in Industrial Design at the UL ALUO, who were invited to take part in the Biodesign Challenge 2025 competition. Biodesign is a relatively young field within design that conceptually connects the biological sciences, art, technology and design, and transcends the traditional frameworks of design practice through its research-driven approach. The students created a space for reflection on biodesign through multilayered artistic and design research – combining material experimentation, speculative design and in-depth cultural reflection – situated within a broader sustainability framework and articulated more specifically through questions of resource and raw material management.
The exhibited projects address three different environments:
Seapack explores the marine ecosystem,
WOODn’t it be nice? explores the forest ecosystem,
What remains? explores human transience.

The entrance is free.
