Lex Fridman Podcast · #394 – Neri Oxman: Biology, Art, and Science of Design & Engineering with Nature · 1 Sep 2023 podcast

in the media around, oh, this is completely biologically derived fragrance and it's bio-based.

But when you look into the fragrance and you understand that in order to get to this bio-derived fragrance, you went through, you blew through 10,000 bushes of rose to create five milliliters of a rose fragrance.

And all these 10,000 bushes of rose, they take space, they take water management and

And so much waste.

Is this really what we want the future of our agriculture and molecular goods to look like?

And so when we did the Aguajaco pavilion on the roof of SFMOMA, we calculated that for that pavilion, we had 40,000 calories embedded into this pavilion that was made of shrimp shells and chitosanin.

And apple skins and cellulose from tree pulp.

And we calculated that overall the structure had 40,000 calories.

Interesting way to think about a structure, right?

From the point of view of calories.

But as you left the gallery, you saw these three clocks that were so beautifully designed by Felix on our team.

And these clocks measured temperature and humidity.

And we connected them to a weather channel so that we could directly...

look at how the pavilion was biodegrading in real time.

And in our calculations, I say this long-winded description of the pavilion to say that in the calculation, we incorporated how much electricity we used for our computers, for the 3D printers that printed the pavilion.

And these were called energy calculations, right?

Energy and materials.

And when you think about a product and you think about

you know, a shoe or a chair or a perfume or a building, you don't stop at the object.

You want to go all the way to the system.
