Application of biopolymers in digitally designed architecture

A still unanswered question in ambitious experimental designs is their production. Architects working on bio-spired or biomorphic designs often forget about realizing that without the appropriate material on a natural basis, their work becomes a formal matter. As part of today's computational research, we are already well-versed in the digital design of nature-inspired or natural-process-based processes. The application of such processes to the proposal today is no longer a utopia. The problem is that these proposals are mostly made from materials that are not natural and often have a large carbon footprint of their production. This research study will deal with a new way of manufacturing architectural components. The starting point for the published findings is the SGS Grant "Living Architecture". The aim is to investigate possible extended use of biopolymer materials in architecture. In addition, the research will address the limits of possible designs and their production. The subject of bioplastics and biopolymers has long been discussed in traditional industrial production. Expansion to construction through experimental designs could bring these materials to new uses while improving and greening, for example, interior production.
