This project showcases full-scale facade prototypes made from biobased and reused materials, developed by students to explore circular design through hands-on collaboration, connecting materiality, manufacturing, and sustainability in architectural practice.

Project information
Real scale prototyping is a key activity in learning. Exploring how materiality, design and manufacturing are interconnected is the only way towards understanding how building products are created and making them more circular. Our contribution to FUTURE FACADES consists of several 1:1 scaled prototypes of wall/facade construction details made up with either biobased on reused building materials. These prototypes are developed by students of the Circular Building Product Technoledge. This is a MSc elective course open to both Building Technology and Architecture students that takes place in Q3 (February-mid April). Just like last year, this year as well, prototyping is done in collaboration with students from ROCvA and specifically the carpentry students. The making activities take place at ‘The Green Village’ and ‘Octatube’ and therefore they are further informed and supported by the expertise of the people hosting us.
