Computation For A New Age Of Resource Aware Architecture: Waste-Sourced And Fast-Growing Bio-Based Materials.
The RAW project proposes a breakthrough resource model for AEC fostering a steep change in the way we design and fabricate our built environment, overcoming the fundamental limits that the natural variability sets within bio-based material streams for the green transformation of the industry.
Waste-Sourced And Fast-Growing Bio-Based Materials often exhibit significant variability in quality and availability. For this material research, GROWNlab is collaborating with the Institute of Textile Chemistry and Textile Physics in Dornbirn. Our part in the RAW project is to analyze the variabilities of bio-based materials like flax and hemp, how and why they occur, and define possible solutions with the RAW team to work with those variables in the AEC industry. We take a look at every step of the bio-material processing: The straw, the fibre, the roving and the yarn, bringing crucial testing data to the project.
