how can the implementation of recycled mussel shell tiles/bricks in the design and planning of public space and infrastructure help mitigate water stress in costal regions undergoing increased drought? Many of these costal regions have an under utilized byproduct: mussel shells. The above diagram shows the existing waste lifecycle of mussel shells and a potential … Read more
Reconfigurable Soft Membrane Architecture:Designing tensile installations from natural & bio- materials for versatile spatial applications
this thesis project is part of a collaboration with Finsa, an industrial partner of IAAC. Together, we are working on developing innovative composite materials that can be processed using cutting-edge pressing technology provided by another industrial partner. This technology relies heavily on the presence of cellulose, as its functionality is directly tied to the cellulose … Read more
