“Make Like a Leaf” leverages photosynthesis, integrating air, water, and light into design tools. Using photosynthetic biomineralization with cyanobacteria, the material captures atmospheric carbon and transforms it into a binding mineral. Research enhances its efficiency and vitality through hydrogel development, nutrient access, and light transmission. This creates a carbon-absorbing architectural material that needs care like a leaf, not a brick, prompting a shift in construction methods.
