Today started with a great discussion around material development, design and ethics.
What does an architect bring to the conversation and how can design change the world, well maybe that wasn’t explicitly discussed but I definitely think it can.
Later, I went into the lab to start test looking into aeration, SAP (Super absorbent polymers) and dissolvable bacteria balls.
These were only small trial mixes that were exploring ideas of void and water retention.
From the initial look of the mixes, they did not seem to work as well as hoped, the balls don’t seem to bond with the mix as desired.
I have a crazy idea of blending the balls into a paste and almost rendering the surface after it has cured; guess we will wait until tomorrow to see what happens.
bubbling.....mmmmm
