Structural Color Tiles is a feasibility study that investigates how 3D-printed, bio-based tiles can produce vibrant, angle-dependent colors using Flavobacteria. These bacteria generate structural colors, optical effects created by surface structure rather than pigments. The goal is to identify which 3D geometries amplify iridescence while supporting optimal bacterial growth.

By shaping tiles with wavy or complex reliefs, this project aims to create visually dynamic panels that shift in color with changing light and viewing angles. This synergy between form and living color opens doors to innovative, eco-conscious applications in architecture and design.
