À TRIER Critical Concrete

Description

Mycelium, a homegrowth insulation medium: The mycelium research investigates the potentialities of living organism in the frame of sustainable insulation solutions. Mycelium, the vegetative tissue of mushrooms, offers vast properties that has been explored in wide range of fields. Within the world of construction, Critical Change studies mycelium as a locally sourced insulation material. The research lab started to experiment the growth of this material using different substrates: cardboard, straw, cotton, sawdust and cork a.o. The observations made on the brick experiments of the mycelium growth set cardboard as a cost and time competitive partner to investigate further the production of insulation panels. Green Roof, a self-building technology: The green roof project investigates construction techniques through the refurbishment of a workshop space.This ancestral vegetal cover technique has gained consideration and been upgraded in the past decades to tackle pollution and high temperatures in urban spaces. The technology construction of a green roof represents a noticeable -even ecologically- cost. Critical Change explores here a construction process and natural way of building within this research project. On the journey a wide amount of challenges and techniques has been explored: tires foundations, stone walls refurbishment and construction, building a wooden structure,...And much more knowledge transfer will come!
