Pioneering the Potential 2023 \u2013\u00a0Evolving the Bio base<\/h2>\n

Three Fibre materials evenings hosted by Fourth Door Research<\/a>* in Lewes, Sussex\u00a0in June 2023<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In-depth information and context<\/h4>\n

These three\u00a0Pioneering the Potential\u00a0<\/b><\/i>evenings are focused on a spectrum of fibre and natural materials, in building, design and textiles.<\/p>\n

The evenings are the latest in Pioneering the Potential\u2019s<\/b> materials events focused on Post-Carbon natural materials. The evenings span the spectrum of fibre and natural materials, across regenerative building, design and textiles cultures, and bring together projects, materials, research, and related initiatives, while building on previous related events in 2022<\/b><\/a>, 2021<\/b><\/a> and 2019<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Straw Friday <\/b>is an evening dedicated to straw in construction, both traditional and industrial.<\/p>\n

Craig White<\/a> <\/b>– Agile Homes<\/a> – White has been at the forefront of developing straw in construction for over twenty years, with his Bristol based architecture and design studio, White Design, which delivered over a hundred projects, including many schools, community infrastructure and the ground-breaking Co-Housing project, LILAC. During this period he developed the Modcell<\/a> straw-timber cassette system, in partnership with the University of Bath, which went on to be used in many of the White Design projects.<\/p>\n

Today, White heads up Agile, a hydra-headed homes, building, and R&D studio set up, which has developed the TAM (short for the heftier Transportable Accommodation Module) <\/i>using the new and improved Agile TAM<\/a> straw insulation panels and buildings.<\/p>\n

Phil Christopher, Huff and Puff Construction<\/a> \u2013 Christopher is a straw bale builder, and recently completed the Hastings Bale House visitor centre, the first publically-procured straw bale building in the South east, and probably Britain, and one of the major pan-European UP STRAW<\/a> research projects. He\u2019ll be talking about the Bale House and other straw bale building projects.<\/p>\n

\"05.3<\/p>\n

Bjorn Kierelff \u2013 from Slovakia by Zoom \u2013 EcoCocon and Createrra \u00a0– Kierrelf has been involved in continental straw in construction for many years, including co-founding Createrra<\/a>, a Slovakian architectural studio focused on passivhaus straw insulated buildings across Europe, using Ecococon<\/a> straw panels. In 2021 Kierrulf and colleagues took over the running of EcoCocon.<\/p>\n

Kierrelf will be speaking from \u2013 and giving an over-the-internet tour of – Createrra\u2019s Slovakian studio<\/a>, the first ever load bearing straw dome (designed and built by the alternative German natural materials architect, Gernot Minke<\/a> as part of a participatory design and make workshop<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Evolving the Bio base\u2019s <\/i>second evening explores the interdisciplinary space between bio-tech-led innovation and the Bio base.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

Marcos Kruz<\/a>,\u00a0Bio-Integrative Design<\/a> (Bio-ID), University College London, Kruz is co-director of the interdisciplinary Bio-ID courses at UCL\u2019s Here East campus. The courses joins up bio-tech with digital fabrication, and architecture with biochemical engineering. Kruz also runs MAM \u2013 marcosandmarjan<\/a>, an experimental practice, with Marjan Colleti. \u00a0The Bio-ID lab continues earlier experimental materials research into algae, including the – now permanent – Algae-Cellunoi wall installation<\/a> at FRAC, Orleans, France, and Algae(o)zebo<\/a>, an experimental pavilion for the Olympics, featuring photo-bioreactors containing algae in its columns.<\/p>\n

Okasana Bondar<\/a>,\u00a0BIOHM<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 BIOHM are a regenerative materials start-up which emerged out of the research culture at London Imperial College. They have specifically focused on mycelium<\/a> and the built fabric. Oksana leads BIOHM\u2019s design team, and will be telling BIOHM\u2019s research journey to date, including involvement in Lewes\u2019s Baker-Brown led recyclable pavilion at Glyndebourne.<\/p>\n

@StudioHardie workshop – Unit 4, Phoenix Works, Lewes, BN7 2PE, East Sussex, map here<\/a><\/p>\n

@19.30pm \u2013 21.15pm Eventbrite<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

The final evening highlights future focused design and craft, drawing in less obvious and older natural materials: seaweed and wool.<\/p>\n

Julia Lohmann, Dept of Seaweed<\/a>,\u00a0the \u2018Mer-Queen of Seaweed\u2019, Lohmann has been working with seaweed in design for over twenty years, including a PhD<\/a> at the Royal College of Art. Under the aegis of the Department of Seaweed Lohmann\u2019s seaweed design work has developed across a broad swathe of design terrain. Currently teaching and researching in the department of design at Aalto University, Helsinki, Lohmann will join us from there over Zoom.<\/p>\n

Isabella Goggin, South East England Fibershed<\/a> – Fibreshed is a pan-continental network, rooted in regional and Bioregional perspectives, bringing together regenerative farming, making and clothing.<\/p>\n

Goggin will be talking about the regional Fibreshed for this part of the world alongside the natural fibres movement. Isabella is part of SE England Fibreshed mapping project and is also involved at a national level. She is an accomplished maker\/designer\/seamstress.<\/p>\n
