Abstract

Radicant examines the fabrication of a biopolymer wall panelling system. It is part of a broader examination of waste-stream based biopolymers for architecture, and how we might extend the circular design framework for biopolymer composites in architectural applications. In Radicant, we work with bone glue, a waste material from the meat industry. The bone glue acts as a binder into which we mix cellulose fibres from other waste streams; bark, paper, recycled linen (cotton) and seagrass. It is robotically 3D printed in a leaf-life filigree pattern.

Design Radicant asks what the design, fabrication and creation of a bio-based architecture can be. It is made as a bespoke panelling system 3D printed from different compositions of biopolymer. The tiles are materially graded composing different waste stream materials creating a six metre tall branched interweave.
