Biofabrique Vienna: Material Crafting Day
Material innovation at the Klima Biennale Wien
Designers and architects are increasingly working independently on the research and development of alternative materials. At the Material Crafting Day at Biofabrique Vienna, international experts from research and design will share their practical experiences and discuss how these influence the production of their own materials. And: what new approaches are needed to drive forward the development of alternative, recyclable materials?
At Biofabrique Vienna at the Klima Biennale Wien, visitors can experience how unused local resources are transformed into new materials for architecture and design. The pilot project of the Vienna Business Agency and Atelier LUMA, a programme of LUMA Arles, is being implemented in partnership with the TU Vienna (Institute of Architectural Design).
The event is being organised in cooperation with the Manual & Material Culture degree programme at NDU St. Pölten, with the kind support of the D.E.S.I.G.N. Foundation.
