Project SummaryThe overall aims of this research are: to investigate recycled mineral based waste materials; explore how they might be combined within a thermal casting process for the development of material with unique aesthetic qualities; to examine the creative and commercial potential of the material for architects, designers, artists and craft makers.The Research Team aims to develop materials - from predominantly re-cycled, mineral waste - that may be used for making products such as interior and exterior wall tiles/cladding, flooring, bricks, urban street furniture, sculptural objects and utilitarian wares. The scope of the project will span the entire R&D process, from investigating sources of waste raw materials to investigating potential creative applications and opportunities for manufacturing.The project proposal is entirely untested and speculative in nature. The research question has however grown out of existing research interests of the Research Team and market research, combined with a recognition of the importance of eco-responsible 'design-led' manufacturing.Issues justifying the research project:* Market research that clearly demonstrates a demand for new materials that offer architects, designers, artists, craft-makers and consumers innovative creative opportunities and solutions;* Concern that the ever-growing desire for new materials and products is placing un-sustainable demands on the exploitation of mineral resources (this has led the Research Team to consider how, re-cycled mineral waste, might be used to replace virgin raw materials within the production of products that both add value to existing waste raw materials and have an intrinsic aesthetic beauty);* Belief in the notion that the inherent aesthetic properties of a material may provide the focus of visual interest, i.e. what extends through the entire core of the material is seen on the surface.The project seeks to extend the narratives of surface, form and material, thus extending the visual vocabulary and creative possibilities of eco-friendly materials. The applied research will combine quantitative, empirical material investigation with practice-led qualitative exploration of creative applications. The core Research Team comprises of an artist/designer and materials scientist, with additional support from industrial and HEI collaborative partners. Drawing on the knowledge and research experience of both investigators, the Team believe the project provides a dynamic and exciting opportunity to bridge the often unconnected research communities of art, science and industry.Extensive investigation by the research team has found no evidence of either existing research or products that exploit the aesthetic potential of recycled glass combined with other mineral waste materials within a hot casting process.The speculative nature of this project is, therefore, based around the hypothesis that it should be possible to combine mineral-based waste material, with re-cycled waste glass, to form large sheets (or forms) of a unique aesthetic quality, which can:* be applied within a variety of creative contexts; * add value to recycled waste;* be appropriate for industrial production with significant commercial potential.

本研究的总体目标是：研究回收的矿物基废料;探索如何将它们结合在热铸造工艺中，以开发具有独特美学品质的材料;为建筑师、设计师、艺术家和工艺品制造商研究这种材料的创意和商业潜力。研究小组的目标是开发材料-从主要是回收的，矿物废料-可用于制造产品，如内墙和外墙瓷砖/覆层、地板、砖块、城市街道设施、雕塑品和实用器皿。该项目的范围将涵盖整个研发过程，从调查废弃原材料的来源到调查潜在的创造性应用和制造机会。该项目建议书完全未经测试，具有投机性质。然而，研究课题是从研究小组现有的研究兴趣和市场调查中产生的，同时也认识到了对生态负责的“设计主导”制造的重要性。研究项目的理由：* 市场调查清楚地表明了对新材料的需求，这些材料为建筑师、设计师、艺术家、手工艺者和消费者提供了创新的创造机会和解决方案;* 对新材料和新产品的需求日益增长，对矿产资源的开采提出了不可持续的要求，（这促使研究小组考虑如何再循环矿物废物，可用于替代产品生产中的原始原材料，既为现有的废弃原材料增加价值，又具有内在的 * 相信材料固有的美学特性可以提供视觉兴趣的焦点，即通过材料的整个核心延伸的东西可以在表面上看到。该项目旨在扩展表面，形式和材料的叙述，从而扩展生态友好材料的视觉词汇和创造可能性。应用研究将结合联合收割机定量，实证材料调查与实践为导向的创造性应用定性探索。核心研究团队由艺术家/设计师和材料科学家组成，并得到工业和HEI合作伙伴的额外支持。凭借两位研究人员的知识和研究经验，该团队相信该项目提供了一个充满活力和令人兴奋的机会，可以在通常互不相关的艺术研究社区之间架起桥梁，科学和工业。研究小组的广泛调查发现，没有证据表明现有的研究或产品在热铸造过程中利用回收玻璃与其他矿物废料的美学潜力。因此，该项目的投机性质是基于这样的假设，即应该可以将矿物基废料与回收的废玻璃结合起来，形成具有独特美学品质的大片（或形式），这可以：* 在各种创造性环境中应用; * 为回收的废物增加价值;* 适合于具有重大商业潜力的工业生产。
