Looking beyond the current take-make-waste extractive industrial model, the circular economy aims to redefine growth and focus on positive society-wide benefits. It entails gradually decoupling economic activity from the consumption of finite resources, and designing waste out of the system. Underpinned by a transition to renewable energy sources, the circular model builds economic, natural, and social capital.

This project is a collaboration between INDA and SCG to investigate the possibilities of a circular economy through the reuse or remaking of sludge waste material provided by SCG. Students work with SCG’s latest technology to create ideas and develop product designs for wall tiles and other types of products, which are later exhibited at SCG Experience at the Crystal Design Center (CDC) in Bangkok.

Mass & Void

The aim for this project is to interrogate the interrelationships between machine tools, machine instruction, material behavior, and geometry, more specifically developing machine fabrication interfaces that target foam as a material. Most plastics are liquids that are molded or formed into surfaces. Foam, however, is ‘cast’ in the form of blocks that are later cut or milled into shape with computer-controlled machines. Though lightweight, foam is solid and brittle rather than thin and flexible in its nature. It favors mass and void relationships rather than surfaces. In fact, a piece of white high-density foam sculpted by a hot wire may have a material sensibility that is closer to chiseled stone than to a typical consumer product made from plastic. Foam, though technically a plastic, seems to have a lot in common with the most archaic of materials in architecture. Like stone, foam can be processed to adopt visual qualities from other materials. It can indeed be shaped to look massive and chunky, like stonework, but also soft and supple, like the draping in a baroque marble sculpture. The design investigation will focus on developing machine logics that draw inspiration from the projective geometries, the poché, and its relationship to mass and void to create architectural details, seating, or wall mounted shelving systems.

Frugal

The project is to design and deliver communal living spaces to an existing low income residential buildings. The buildings provide single aspect small living units and residents have no spaces to socialise or relax away from their bedroom. Some existing communal spaces are fragmented and lack of a vision for social interaction. The project intends to fill this gap using the available open spaces. Focused on and a creative use and re-use of materials readily available, students develop the design starting from a catalogue of materials and ‘parts’ rather than an architectural form, thus learning how to develop a minimal and efficient yet creative architectural design. Particular emphasis is given to the environmental impact of the design whereby students are guided through design decisions within the general strategy.
