This interesting symposium will bring together academics, practitioners, and students to explore the innovative use of Paludi-fibre in bio-based building materials and their potential to shape sustainable futures.
Presentations by leading experts will include:
the development of feather-free insulation fillers for fashion,
advancements in bio-based materials, bio-genic construction,
robotic manufacturing and biomaterial-based fabrication,
the impacts on the construction industry.
Discussions will also address the broader implications of adopting sustainable materials, such as reducing carbon footprints and promoting biodiversity.
The event aims to foster a collaborative environment where participants can exchange ideas and form partnerships. It seeks to inspire new approaches to sustainable building and encourage the adoption of bio-based materials in mainstream construction.
An exhibition showcasing MArch students' paludiculture reseach work featuring projects that experiment with practical applications of Paludi-fibre in contemporary architecture, highlighting the students’ creativity and technical skills will run parallel to the meeting and a tour of the exhibition in Boardman House will be available during the lunch break.
