Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hanaa Dahy will give a lecture: “Future Sustainable Architecture between Design, Materials and Fabrication Technologies”. in Ain Shams University in Cairo on Sunday the 23rd of Dec. 2018.
BioMat B.Sc. 2018: Arzum Coban, Victoria Ivanova
The research pavilion was inspired by Diatoms. Diatoms are a unicellular type of Phytoplankton. Although they are unicellular, they can form colonies in the shapes of filaments or ribbons.
On the 15thof August 2018, the official opening took place of the first experimental pavilion, realized by the department of Biobased Materials and Material Cycles in Architecture (BioMat), located at the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) in the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Stuttgart.
BioMat was presenting from 6th to 8th November 2018 at COMPOSITES EUROPE 2018
COMPOSITES EUROPE is the foremost trade fair and industry forum for all professions that are linked with composites as well as their corresponding technologies and applications.
BioMat pavilion was featured in the local news (Stuttgater Zeitung/ Stuttgart Nachrichten) as well as in the “Architekturblatt”, the German online architecture magazine.
Jun.-Prof. Hanaa Dahy is giving a keynote speech at the international final conference of the European Union project AGRIFORVALOR in Brussels on Friday, July 6, 2018. Discover more infos about the EU project Agriforvalor at the project website.
The conference covers potentials and opportunities of a sustainable bioeconomy and the link between bioeconomy and certain industries like the building industry. The Best Business Model Award – awarded in a ceremony at the conference – is designed and fabricated by the BioMat team! The trophy is made of a bio-based elastic fibreboard called BioFlexi developed by BioMat.
BioMat was presenting at the Hannover Messe 2018, the worlds biggest fair for industry, investment products, research and innovation, from April 23 to April 27. At a common stand with the University of Stuttgart and the Federal State of Baden-Wuerttemberg, new sustainable material developments and outcomes of research and teaching were exhibited.
Materials meanings; some unexpected benefits of re-working waste material – under this title, Jun.-Prof. Hanaa Dahy will give a lecture at the Ecobuild 2018 conference at ExCeL London, 06-08 march 2018, one of the leading events for sustainability and ecological innovation in the building industry. The lecture will introduce a discussion on the application of recycled materials and innovative design and fabrication techniques for a more sustainable built environment. In the conference workshop session WasteZone, experts from the world of material invention and product design will make individual presentations about their practice and research before discussing ideas around sustainable material flows and material meanings.
