dc.description.abstract | Our current extractive practices with architectural materials are unsustainable and biogenic options must be explored. Much of the current discourse and use of biogenic materials in architecture operates as a one-to-one replacement for existing material typologies. However, there is an emerging interest in exploring these materials using contemporary digital fabrication tools. One biogenic material option is the by-products of flax production. The climate in Nova Scotia is suitable for sustainable growth of fibre flax, and there is a growing resurgence of this industry, and an interest in supporting it with a circular economy. The by-products currently do not have a specified use and are a prime candidate for exploration as architectural materials. Additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as 3D printing allows for customized, locally sourced, surplus-free design possibilities. Using this fabrication method this thesis uses an emergent scalar approach to explore a biogenic material future. | en_US |
