What if traditional embroidery could be transformed into dynamic, responsive biointeractive surfaces? This project brings together age-old craftsmanship and advanced biofabrication to create textiles that actively change over time. By integrating temperature-sensitive threads, pH-responsive fibers, hydrogels, and even living elements like moss and seeds, the embroidered designs become adaptive interfaces—responding to environmental factors such as humidity and temperature, while interacting with the user’s body.

Using computational tools, we program these smart, bioactive threads at the fiber or fabric level, ensuring precise control over morphology and function. This fusion of traditional techniques with biomaterials not only enhances aesthetic and practical properties but also opens new possibilities for sustainable, interactive applications—from wearable health monitors and fashion to large-scale urban greening and responsive architectural elements.
