SBYD ZINE #01 – BIOMATERIAL RECIPES
Das Zine »Recipes« präsentiert sechzehn Rezepte aus dem SPACE FOR BIOMATERIALS für biobasierte Materialien.
This zine presents sixteen material recipes from the inaugural project of the SPACE FOR BIOMATERIALS. The project involved design students from Folkwang University of the Arts who were guided through a research-through- design process to experimentally create bio-based materials in the university’s new Bio Lab. Aiming to explore alternatives to the petroleum-based materials prevalent in contemporary design, the project investigated bio-based materials not only for their structural qualities but also for their potential to contribute to more ecologically friendly and resource-light design and production methods. Some recipes repurpose resources typically discarded as waste, such as coffee grounds, eggshells, or cut grass. Others explore using invasive plants, algae, or bacterial cellulose to create materials.
