The Exploded View Beyond Building

Biobased Creations, Pascal Leboucq & Lucas De Man

Honorary Mention

„The Exploded View Beyond Building“ ist eine ikonische Ausstellung in Gestalt eines Hauses, das ausschließlich aus biobasierten Materialien besteht und von den Kreislaufbaumethoden und der Wertschöpfungskette erzählt, aus der es hervorging. Das prototypische Projekt will verdeutlichen, was in Sachen Bauen mit der Natur bereits jetzt und was in naher Zukunft alles möglich sein wird. Besucherinnen können sämtliche Materialien scannen, um zu erfahren, wer es hergestellt hat, wie es hergestellt wurde, wie weit die Entwicklung des Materials fortgeschritten ist und vieles andere mehr. Darüber hinaus stehen vor Ort Erzählerinnen bereit, die den Besucherinnen das Wie und das Warum hinter jedem Material näherbringen, aber auch um das „Bigger Picture“ zu vermitteln, wie nachhaltiges Bauen unsere Landschaften, unsere Landwirtschaft, unsere Wertesysteme, unsere Gesundheit und unsere Lebensweise im Allgemeinen verändern könnte. Neben der Ausstellung wurden mit der „Embassy of Biobased and Circular Building“ zudem ein Netzwerk geschaffen, in dem Produzentinnen, Designerinnen, Bauherrinnen, Bäuerinnen, politische Entscheidungsträgerinnen, Künstlerinnen und Wissenschaftlerinnen einander treffen, um Erkenntnisse, Zweifel, Bedürfnisse und Ängste auszutauschen und gemeinsam auf ein echtes zirkuläres System des nachhaltigen Bauens hinarbeiten können.

Biography

Through their artistic installations, Biobased Creations (NL) highlights the beauty and power of biobased materials, in order to accelerate the transition to a circular and sustainable society. During the Dutch Design Week (DDW) of 2019, they presented The Growing Pavilion, a pavilion that is fully biobased, 95% circular and 10 tons of CO2 negative. Following this, they created The Exploded View Materials & Methods in 2020, a 1:4 archetype house built from state of the art biobased materials and circular methods. The next step was the construction of a 1:1 scale house, The Exploded View Beyond Building in 2021. With their unique combination of storytelling and imagination, Biobased Creations elicited a lot of admiration from the art, design and construction worlds.

Jury Statement

The Exploded View Beyond Building is the outcome of a strong collaborative initiative of—in their own words—“producers, designers, builders, farmers, policy makers, artists, and knowledge institutes.“ It is a show case, a demonstrator and educational exhibition, but foremost it is also proof of the concept that sustainable manufacturing and construction is a real possibility, that bio-based materials are ready for application in real life projects. Even more than this, it is a great source of inspiration and encouragement for a new attribute that shows how the joint efforts of creativity, engineering and environmental consciousness can lead to a new way out of the stranglehold of resource- and energy wasting of old style construction industry.
