Bastian Beyer's research work deals with fibre-based materials in the design context. He studied Architecture in Munich (University of Applied Sciences) and Berlin (Berlin University of the Arts).

After his studies he received a Marie Curie Research Fellowship in the ArcInTex program and received his doctorate at the Royal College of Art in London

In his dissertation he investigated structural and reactive properties of biofilms on fiber-based substrates and explored new manufacturing methods for bio-based materials.

At »Matters of Activity« he currently works together with Regine Hengge, Skander Hathroubi and Iva Resetar on cellulose based Biofilms and their application for design and architecture.

Besides his engagement at the Clusterhe is also a teaching fellow at the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL London).
