+**Experiments in resilient creative cultural practices.**
+Edible Crafts is a speculative design experiment exploring how the combination of food, craft & science can lead to resilient models for design. ECR looks at fully consumable, closed-loop design using edible & compostable materials sourced from local eco-systems.The experiment focuses on the table setting in domestic space. Informed by culinary traditions, rituals of eating & the landscape, ECR investigates designing a complete dining experience using a limited amount of shared ingredients. In Table Vivant onomaterial design concepts based on food source are explored to design edible tableware for a table landscape that include food, textiles, tableware & edible solar cells (Temporary photoElectric Digestopians), all produced with locally sourced ingredients. The table landscape serves as a medium to communicate principles of resilience and interdependency.

+The project has 2 complementary goals:
+  * to explore how food generates both calorific (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.
