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?

+'''PERSONAL REASONS TO ATTENDING THE COURSE'''
-Here is a web page with information about some microorganism, how to cultivate them, the price of some of them.

+'''PROJECT IDEAS.'''
-==='''MICROSCOPIC PHOTOGRAPHY.'''===
+- Create a series of photographies of a variety of specimens out and under the microscope. The specimens will come from laboratory allowed specimens.
-The first step is to find a subject, in my case, I want to work with ''Polycephalum/physarum'' an allowed sample in the laboratory, with samples taking from the human body, could be like ''Escherichia Coli'' and also some other microorganism that can be found in the Ilm Park, in Weimar-Germany.
+- 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?
-'''Types of photography with a microscope:'''
-*''Köhler Illumination:'' neutral and uniform backlighting, helps to maximize the contrast and resolution in the image.

-**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYP0uBxE0AA
-*''Darkfield:'' makes an object glow against a black background by using a darkfield condenser into the microscope ''(there are to types; dry or oil condenser)''.
