Harnessing materiality that aligns with the natural cycle
The Ideal
(theoretical)
Can designers begin to harness the ephemerality of bio-based materials to create artefacts that decompose at the end of their lives?
The Idea
(practical)
This project harnesses green chemistry and designer-made bio-based materials to rethink how we design and build products. The practice-based research seeks to validate the proposal that constituent materials should either decompose naturally in the environment or break down via calibration in a controlled setting.
