The Exploded View stands for a radical new look at the realization of a home: pulling apart and dissecting the endless number of applications found in a house, in order to rebuild them using circular methods and biobased materials. The materials and applications of today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.
The Exploded View is also showcasing the endless, potential material streams available that are not yet being used in the construction world. For example, material streams from food, textiles, sewage water, buildings or even from our own living environment. Through this experimental design, we share our research towards materials that can keep the production circle as small and as efficient as possible.
Above all, The Exploded View is a ‘live research’ and ‘storytelling’ installation. It is a model of a detached house in which we display various biobased materials and circular methods side by side. Through both the model and the life-size blueprint, we show all that we have discovered, as well as the parts that we are still missing—the question marks. We will be discussing all of its qualities as well as its weak points. This way, we invite everyone to think and act together with us. Because there is so much knowledge available, there is not one right method or solution for sustainable construction. Will you join us on this journey?
