Biotoop Dijksgracht
In the emerging field of Life-Sciences (the study of living organisms) and Bio-Design (working with living organisms) there is an expanding need for substantive collaboration.
Not only between the different (international) institutes and the designers, artists and scientists involved. But more importantly, the public.
At Biotoop Dijksgracht we connect makers with the public in order to build a growing creative habitat for experimentation, research, collaboration and shared knowledge.
There will be a 'broedplaats', bio-workshop, fermentology restaurant, public garden, aquaponics site, GreenNest gallery and Bio-Art Supplier store. The area itself is located within walking distance from Amsterdam's Central Station on Dijksgracht 6. In 2015 this region will be connected to the Marine terrain by bridge.
Desks for Rent
You can be part of this Biotoop by renting a workplace in our collaborative studio. This means that you get your own desk, cabinet and storage space in the 'dry' shared studio. Plus access to the 'wet' workshop and apparatus. All of which are especially equipped for working with living organisms. Amongst the facilities you will find a Clean Room, Hatcheries and Drying Cabinets, 3D Paste extruders, Aquaponics farming installations and TestKitchen. But also wireless internet, a printshop and meeting room. And off course there will be plenty of space for hosting and organizing workshops, exhibitions and presentations.
