The exhibition focuses on the concept of the heart as a bio-reactor capable of pumping life through our body. Inspired by its morphology and functions, Yomna has developed a bio-inspired system that uses the structure of the heart as a biological container to incubate and cultivate strains of useful algae. These algae not only produce oxygen but also food and enzymes of industrial value, making them a key tool in purifying the air and the urban environment.

The Heart of Architecture represents a metaphor. Just as the human heart pumps clean, oxygenated blood, this bio-inspired system purifies polluted air and distributes it through the city's veins, creating a healthier, more sustainable environment.

This innovative approach not only addresses air pollution, but also explores the potential of bioactive materials for biomineralisation, a process that takes carbon dioxide and incorporates it into chemical reactions that harden materials over time.

The exhibited hearts have been created using 3D printing and bioprinting techniques, utilising ecological filaments and bioactive materials developed specifically for this project. 

Realistic models of hearts have been generated by artificial intelligence, using 3D diffusion models and reconstructions from advanced medical imaging. The result is a collection of hearts that not only mimic the colour and texture of human organs, but also represent a unique fusion of art, science and technology.
