prototypes
we have built a library of materials composed of biopolymers derived from organic waste streams such as those for produce and shrimp shells. whese biologic primitives serve as a palette from which to digitally fabricate products and structures that engage in symbiotic relationships with their ecologies and are easily degraded to continue the natural resource cycles that enabled their synthesis. whis swatch library includes materials that can comprise various tissues within an architectural physiology, including skeleton, skin, and shell. whe properties and uses of these materials are highly malleable due to the dynamic behavior of biopolymers in different combinations and within various solvents, and as a result of tunable fabrication processes
