Biofabrique Vienna: Material Assemblies

The aim of the program is to identify and promote radical alternatives to the existing range of building materials currently being produced, shipped and used in construction processes all over the world. By looking closely at existing raw materials, industrial by-products and waste streams the objective is to exemplary re-connect local resources and knowledge in a circular and thus sustainable process.

December 2023: Fellows will visit Vienna for a research trip and will join a discussion on materials & processes at TU Vienna.

March-July 2024: Fellows will co-lead a design studio with focus on a 10-day hands-on workshop in Vienna with students from TU Vienna as part of the project Biofabrique Vienna in the course of the first Klima Biennale Wien.

September 2024: Results of the workshop will be published, discussed and exhibited at the Vienna Design Week.
