What did Neri Oxman invent? Where did Neri Oxman study?

Neri Oxman, a visionary inventor, is revolutionizing design with her pioneering philosophy, Material Ecology.

Her approach seamlessly merges nature and technology, resulting in objects and structures that emulate the growth and adaptation of living organisms. Among her remarkable inventions are:

Silk Pavilion

Witness a structure woven by silkworms under the guidance of robots. This pavilion showcases a shimmering, resilient mesh formed by thousands of silkworms.

Synthetic Apiary

Oxman’s beehive replicates a natural environment, utilizing 3D-printed structures embedded with pheromones to foster the thriving of bees.

Aguahoja

This project employs chitosan, a natural compound from shrimp shells, to construct biodegradable walls and furniture, offering innovative sustainability.

G3DP

Breaking new ground with the first glass 3D printer, G3DP opens avenues for creating stunning and functional glass structures, expanding the horizons of design possibilities.

In addition to her structural innovations, Oxman has delved into the realm of fashion, crafting 3D-printed clothing for synthetic organisms and designing a unique mask for Björk based on the artist’s face scan.

Where did Neri Oxman study?

Neri Oxman’s academic odyssey unfolded across prestigious institutions – two years in medicine at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, architecture studies at Technion Israel Institute of Technology, an architecture diploma from the Architectural Association School of Architecture (London), culminating in a Ph.D. in Design Computation at MIT.
