Vergroot

Resonating spaces - Through the study of the analogy between forms and patterns of sound and of nature, we are conducting experiments concerning a different mechanical way to stimulate matter. Through the study of models in nature, prototypes of integrative, self-assembling, self- organizing architectonic structures are created. A 3D- printer is hacked to host this system and extrude agar based or bio plastic structures as a bone system. The project originates in and will contribute to the field of architecture… GG-loop

Inspired by Nature

Become nature's apprentice and let your designs be inspired by nature's solutions. In this two hour Biomimicry workshop PhD Candidate Laura Stevens will introduce you to some of the key concepts within the field of biomimicry and provide you with a short design assignment. 10 Feb.

Edible Mycelium

Learn all about tempeh! The symbiosis between fungus, legumes and the underlying microbiological process. Sasker Scheerder from Manenwolf's will teach you how to grow your own meat substitute with the help of black beans.

Urban Farming with Aquaponics

With the numbers of city-citizens constantly rising, there is a growing need for sustainable methods for food production in the city. During this workshop you will learn about the potential of Aquaponics; the cultivation of fish and plants in one closed system. 4 Feb. / 25 Mrt.

Microbiologically brewed to perfection

Jasper Swierstra is a brewer and medical microbiologist. Over the course of one day you will join him in the makings of your own first batch of beer.
