BACKGROUND.

Architect (2012) and Designer with an emphasis in product design (2013) of Los Andes University (Bogotá/Colombia)
Currently making Master in Media Architecture in Bauhaus University (Weimar/Germany)

PERSONAL REASONS TO ATTENDING THE COURSE

As an architect and a product designer, the scale with I interact in my everyday life is a macro scale, that is based in KM for urbanistic projects, M for building, CM and MM for product design. The scale of the microbiology world is something that I have always find fascinating, but sadly since the school, I haven't had the opportunity to interact with it. This course offers me the opportunity to reconnect with this world, to learn from it, experiment and the opportunity to see it through different lenses. I hope that at the end of this course I will be able to understand what experimental microbiology is and see if this subject has a connection to my previous knowledge.

PROJECT IDEAS.

- Create a series of photographies of a variety of specimens out and under the microscope. The specimens will come from laboratory allowed specimens.

- Does it exist any relation (symbiosis, parasitism,...) between Aliivibrio Fischeri (bioluminescence bacteria that normally can be found in the tropical warm salt water of the oceans) and Physarum Polycephalum (yellow fungi that live in the forest grows in dark relatively warm environments)? if it is, in which area can it be applied? Which applications could it have in architecture, design or other fields?

-==='''MICROORGANISM INVESTIGATION.'''===
-In order to decide which microorganism are suitable for the work that is going to be developed, an initial investigation is made in order to understand the characteristics of each microorganism, their needs in order to grow,  and important information suitable for the project.
-*List of bacterias and microorganism that can be cultivated in laboratories of high security.
+'''PROJECT IDEAS.'''
-** Bacillus Subtilis - (brown)
+- Create a series of photographies of a variety of specimens out and under the microscope. The specimens will come from laboratory allowed specimens.
-** Chromobacterium violaceum - (violet)
-** Escherichia Coli - (colourless)
-** Micrococcus Luteus - (Yellow)
-** Micrococcus Roseus - (Rosa)
-** Proteus Mirabilis / Pseudomonas aeruginosa - (brown)
-** Pseudomonas Fluorescens – (Blue or green) ''fluorescens with pyoverdine''
-** Serratia Marcescens – (Pink or Orange)
-** Staphylococcus aureus – (Yellow)
-** Vibrio Fischeri – (Bioluminescent)
-*List of bacterias and microorganism that can be cultivated in laboratories of medium/basic security.
+- Does it exist any relation ''(symbiosis, parasitism,...)'' between Aliivibrio Fischeri (bioluminescence bacteria that normally can be found in the tropical warm salt water of the oceans) and Physarum Polycephalum ''(yellow fungi that live in the forest grows in dark relatively warm environments)''? if it is, in which area can it be applied? Which applications could it have in architecture, design or other fields?
-** Polycephalum/physarum - (Yellow) ''tree form''
-** Clorococcum spec - (green)
-** Euglena gracilis - (green)
-** Euglena Spirogyra / Lepocinclis Spirogyroides - (green/yellow)
-** Haematococcus Pluvialis - (red)
-** Volvox Aureus - (granulated green)
-** Sternalge / Zygnema spec - (yellow/green) ''remoline form''
-** Blepharisma Americana - (red)
-** Blepharisma Japonicum - (red)
-** Hidra Vulgaris - (white) ''long straight form''
-Here is a web page with information about some microorganism, how to cultivate them, the price of some of them.

-==='''MICROSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY.'''===
+[[/LINK TO PREVIOUS-INVESTIGATION.]]
-The first step is to find a subject, in my case I want to work with ''Polycephalum/physarum'' and with some other microorganism that can be found in the Ilm Park, in Weimar-Germany.
-'''Types of photography with a microscope:'''
+[[/LINK TO WORKSHOP]]
-*''Köhler Illumination:'' neutral and uniform backlighting, helps to maximize the contrast and resolution in the image.

-*''Darkfield:'' ,,makes an object glow against a black background, creating an astronomical type look. Darkfield lighting comes from behind a transparent subject and is shined through the sample at oblique angles.''
