An American architecture professor, Ginger Krieg Dosier, 32, Assistant Professor of Architecture at American University of Sharjah (AUS) in Abu Dhabi, has won this year’s prestigious Metropolis Next Generation Design Prize for “Biomanufactured Brick.” The 2010 Next Generation Prize Challenge was “ONE DESIGN FIX FOR THE FUTURE” - a small fix to change the world. The Next Generation judges decided that Professor Dosier’s well-documented and -tested plan to replace clay-fired brick with a brick made with bacteria and sand, met the challenge perfectly. Bustler

Theres a TED lecture on which a student uses this technique for a project in Africa to stop the spreading of the desert. Hmm I wonder who was the first to come up with this? Her work definitely seems more developed and advanced.
The American University of Sharjah, is in Sharjah, UAE, not Abu Dhabi.
