Investigating the current groundswell of experiments and creative work that utilises design as a method to explore and manipulate actual biological material, Neoplasmatic Design presents the impact of emerging and progressive biological advances upon architectural and design practice.
His investigations about Neoplasmatic Architecture won the RIBA President’s Research Award in 2008. In 2000 he was part of the design team for the Kunsthaus Graz competition (P Cook and C Fournier, first prize).
The term ‘neoplasmatic’ was originally used in the context of ‘Neoplasmatic Architecture’, an ongoing research project that Marcos Cruz started developing for his doctoral thesis ‘The Inhabitable Flesh of Architecture’, undertaken at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (supervisors Professor Peter Cook and Professor Jonathan ...
Cruz studied at the ESAP Porto and was an exchange student at the ETSAB Barcelona. After moving to London he gained a Masters with distinction and a PhD degree sponsored by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology in 2007. His investigations about Neoplasmatic Architecture won the RIBA President’s Research Award in 2008.

Cruz’s research and teaching (UCL, IaaC, University Westminster, UCLA) has been focused for over 20 years on new forms of bio-integrated and sustainable design for the built environment with main focus on bioreceptive materials, poikilohydric design and neoplasmatic architecture (RIBA President’s award for research in 2008).
Apr 29, 2010 · His award-winning research centers on contemporary discussion about the body in architecture and the emergence of neoplasmatic architecture, an investigation into the use of digital and analogue design processes as a method to explore and manipulate actual biological material.
