Designing architecture with kombucha cellulose, case study: Building envelope

The green building phenomenon stimulates new material production to optimize the sustainable design quality goal. While issue lies in limited exploration and of local biomaterials, acceptance is still problematic actual practice mainly because unfamiliarity. One most promising materials comes from household waste, especially food. Its availability, degradability, low potential allergy gained popularity as it user-friendly yet can be directly produced used at home. Despite common perception suggesting unrelated, odd, or less resilient, global trends have recommended otherwise. It made edible materials, movement includes kombucha cellulose potentially developed a biomaterial. This research explores sheets envelope. aim study its texture which exhibits specific ambience. method customized traditional Indonesian tea fermentation test sheet mock-up; steps are follows; · Building envelope Capturing spatial experience output miniature enclosure using rigid, semi-rigid, flexible structures; result atmospheres generated by translucent textures, natural patterns, colours kombucha. novelty constructed sheet.
