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.

Fashion Design Exploration with Hemp Fiber
The Barcelona Fab textiles based in
the Stigmergic Fibers (A new approach to material behaviour) designed by Jean Akanish,
Jin Shihui
, Alexander Dolan and
Ali Yerdel in the Master for Advanced Architecture (IAAC 2012-2013_
Digital Tectonics – Fabrication Ecologies) is working in a new technology for fashion design related with natural hemp fibers.

Hempcrete
Hempcrete is a mixture of hemp hurds (shives) and lime (possibly including natural hydraulic lime, sand, pozzolans or cement) used as a material for construction and insulation.It is marketed under names like Hempcrete, Canobiote, Canosmose, and Isochanvre.Hempcrete is easier to work with than traditional lime mixes and acts as an insulator and moisture regulator. It lacks the brittleness of concrete and consequently does not need expansion joints.
