From the Podcast Archive: Biochemist Irina Iachina Lets Spiders Weave the Future of Design

This week we're taking a short break from the Living With Other Species podcast series to revisit our extensive archive. But we continue our focus on the lives and architectures of other species — and what we might learn from them.

March 3, 2026

This week we're taking a short break from the Living With Other Species podcast series to revisit our extensive archive. But we continue our focus on the lives and architectures of other species — and what we might learn from them.

What follows is a conversation in which biochemist Irina Iachina shares her groundbreaking work on biomimicry, focusing on spider silk as a model for sustainable innovation. The talk was held as part of architect Pavels Hedströms exhibition _Strange Adaptions_, which was on display at Halmtorvet 27 from late 2024 into 2025.

Next week, Living With Other Species returns — with a conversation on The Insect As Worker and Citizen.
