Bio Plastic Research

The research was based on the project made last year in iaaC, which explored the production methods and material behaviors in plastic biodegradable systems. It investigates DIY biomaterial production and passive reconfiguration processes to create components for a dissolving architecture.

The Bio Plastic research was made by Sviatlana Matushko, Mardet Gebreyesus, Dhwani Patel, under the tutoring of Areti Markopoulou and the assistance of Alexander Dubor and Moritz Begle.

At this class we tried through a series of tests with different tools of digital fabrication machines and through a series of experimentation of ways of assembling and making the materials to be transformed later, into a lamp.
