在这个工作室中，我们探索使用Alganyl进行设计，Alganyl是一种可持续的生物材料，由食品级成分制成，可以完全回收（零浪费）或在土壤中生物降解。具体而言，Alganyl是一种生物塑料，旨在模仿乙烯基织物的柔韧性和强度。该工作室将汇集具有不同专业知识的研究人员，探索在Alganyl中嵌入颜色，纹理和传感以及各种制造技术。参与者将有机会通过制作可感知紫外线或温度的可穿戴设备获得实践经验，并探索自己的创意应用。参与者还将学习以材料为中心的设计方法和HCI背景下的可持续性。最后，鼓励参与者分享他们使用Alganyl设计的经验，并讨论生物材料在可持续HCI研究中的影响。
In this studio we explore designing with Alganyl, a sustainable biomaterial, made of food-grade ingredients, that can be fully recycled (zero-waste) or biodegraded in soil. Specifically, Alganyl is a bioplastic formulated to mimic the flexibility and strength of vinyl fabric. This studio will bring together researchers with diverse expertise that will explore embedding color, texture and sensing in Alganyl as well as a variety of fabrication techniques. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through making wearables that can sense ultraviolet light or temperature, as well as explore their own creative applications. Participants will also learn about material-centered design methodologies and sustainability within the context of HCI. Lastly participants will be encouraged to share their experiences with designing with Alganyl as well as discuss the impact of biomaterials in sustainable HCI research.
