Algae Geographies
Algae Geographies by Algae Platform is a workshop organized by Atelier Luma (Luma Arles). IAlgae Lab, is a bio-laboratory set up by Atelier Luma in collaboration with Studio Klarenbeek & Dros in order to explore the potential of growing micro- and macro-algae locally. The algae are mixed with biopolymers to produce a fully bio-sourced material that can replace non-biodegradable fossil oil-based plastics. The project proposes a new model for circular production through biofabrication and decentralized fabrication such as 3D printing. With Materials Experience Lab (Polimi) we have the opportunity to work with Atelier Luma at their algae project exhibited also to Triennale di Milano for Broken Nature's exhibition. Raw materials and waste materials (from 3d printer) were available. After a process of tinkering and experimentation has been investigate new design paths which atelierluma can take to innovate its production. Triennale di Milano Atelier Luma-Broken Nature
