Biomaterials – SummerLab 2023

SummerLab BIOMATERIALS

First Edition of this course in the Summerlab geared specifically to the fabrication of biomaterials and their subsequent application as bioplastics, biotextiles, and bioceramics.
With the help of:

Nature as an inspiration in the design process.

The course of the summer BIOMATERIALS is a program of learning immersive in Nature, in the Natural Park of Networks, in Asturias.
Through different capsules training we will discover how to manufacture materials of organic origin 100% biodegradable, we will see their applications as substitutes for textiles or the plastic of fossil origin.
We will learn to look at Nature with curiosity, and from the creative experimentation to find alternatives in the manufacturing process.
BIOMATERIALS is an experience for professionals and students who want to explore the world of materiality. Experience how to make, how to shape them, drying techniques and conservation, research and improvement of their properties, etc

Why look to Nature?

We believe that progress towards societies ecologically sustainable the first step is to raise the awareness of people about the problems and the consequences that generate our demands and dynamics of the consumption current. As consumers, we are the problem and also the solution, because we have the power to change our way of consuming and slow down the waste, and waste that we generate.
Mankind must face up to a major transformation and change its relationship with Nature, through greater social and ecological consciousness.
The design is a powerful tool for carrying out this transformation, for this reason we propose environments for experimentation, looking for narratives that pose a better future.
A new way of thinking about the processes of creating, innovating in the resolution of the design challenges of a sustainable, circular and regenerative, using Nature as a guide.

Who is it for?

SUMMERLAB – BIOMIMATERIALES is aimed at those explorers who want to lead transformation projects, with a global vision and interdisciplinary, taking into account the bases of sustainable development.
Students and professionals who have concerns and interest in and to integrate new methodologies in the creation and execution of projects of all creative disciplines, especially those related to the design, architecture, product design and furniture, graphic design, engineering, jewelry making, fashion design and art.
