Biography:

Carolina Ramirez-Figueroa is a Senior Lecturer at Information Experience Design (IED) at The Royal College of Art. Carolina’s research explores the challenges and opportunities found when living systems are understood as a form of matter for design. She is interested in understanding the cultures, practices, tools and economies of working and designing with living systems at different scales, ranging from experiences, products, architecture and urban ecologies. Carolina's work also looks at imagining and delivering possible futures to challenge and provoke discourses of future technological, social, cultural, political, economic and environmental issues.
