Archibiome tattoos: biofabricated microbial inks for resilient and sustainable architecture

The REMEDY project develops a new technology - archibiome tattoo for decoration and functionalization of building surfaces. This approach uses biofabrication with living, metabolically active microorganisms to provide high-resolution decorative patterns combined with functional properties for both new and existing structures. Living inks act like probiotic skincare for architecture: enhancing resilience against pathogenic microorganisms, enabling carbon sequestration, oxygen production, pollutant capture, and self-healing, while offering aesthetic customisation.
