+ | As part of “The Resilients” project team, I will coordinate the “The Edible Craft” case study in collaboration with FoAm, Bart Vandeput and the MA Textile Futures Course at CSM. The design team will explore the table landscape as a medium to communicate principles of resilience and interdependency. The design components will include food, textiles, tableware & dye sensitized solar cells, all produced with locally sourced ingredients.
| ||
+ | |||
+ | The project has 2 complementary goals: | ||
+ | - to explore how food generates both calorifc (Joules) & electrical energy (Watts) & how this parallel can be taken into account when evaluating ecosystems. | ||
+ | - to learn from traditional crafts, biology, biomimicry & food science to design environmentally resilient cultural experiences. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The starting point are plants with properties suitable for making food, textiles & solar cells (e.g berries). Local ethno-culinary traditions, biological & ecological context of the chosen plant is studied and a scenario for an ‘edible’ dining environment is designed. The experiment should be transferrable to different localities in Europe. The project starts in June 2011 and will last for 2 years. | ||
