SESSION #3 – (CON)TEMPORARY CRUST In Session #3, the task was to translate the site visits and experiments into concepts of temporary objects/structures — inspired by the material’s place of origin. This session was supported by an ideation workshop, which gave insights into methods of collaborative storytelling. In the end, temporary objects were created in …

SESSION #3 – SITE VISITS
SESSION #3 – SITE VISITS Field research The task was to visit a place of one’s own choice situated within a reachable distance. The choice should be made on the basis of the soil and the location, the people, the stories, the history and what is special about the place.In order to get to know …
SESSION #3 – IDEATION WORKSHOP
SESSION #3 – IDEATION WORKSHOP Still only being able to meet up digitally we transferred also the ideation workshop into the digital world.During the digital site visit presentations, we all together collected the following key aspects for each place: stakeholders, the special, temporal aspects, comments – using a collaborative miro board. Picking out (randomly) one …
BIOPLASTICS CONFERENCE
BIOPLASTICS CONFERENCE 12.10.2020 – invited experts spoke about the respective bioplastics At the start of the project, invited experts, entrepreneurs and scientists presented the different bioplastics with which we intended to work on during the semester. Subsequent to this online conference, the students chose a bioplastic for which they were to develop circulating applications. Protein …

BACTERIAL CELLULOSE profile
BACTERIAL CELLULOSE profile by Stefanie Putsch, Dean Weigand & Elena Bangel Description of the material: Cellulose is a polymer made from the monomer cellobiose. It is the main component of plant cell membranes and is the most abundant biomolecule. The linkage of the monomers takes place through a condensation reaction in which two hydroxyl groups (-OH) form …
PROTEIN-BASED BIOPLASTICS profile
PROTEIN-BASED BIOPLASTICS profile by Charlotte Bolinski, Amon Zänker & Sophia Reißenweber Description of the material:Proteins consist of amino acids and are built up and broken down by enzymes. Depending on the protein source, they differ greatly in their composition. Proteases are enzymes that cut up other proteins. Through cross-linking of amino acids by a certain enzyme, …
