Lucas De Man — affable tour guide and founder of the innovative Dutch architectural research practice Biobased Creations — walks us through a remarkable exhibition that imagines a better building industry. Revealed at Dutch Design Week, the show takes the shape of a full-size home that is made entirely of bio-based materials and made with circular construction methods; it tells stories about changing the value chain.
During the exhibition, visitors were invited to move through, touch, feel and smell the future of living as the structure’s storytelling installation guided them through the cycle of circular and bio-based construction. Now, the project lives on in this interactive and engaging video, where viewers are invited to learn how the building blocks of a more sustainable industry are the materials themselves. The project explores how building bio-based homes can lead to system changes in health, agriculture, neighborhoods of the future and value chains.
