+ | Callum Caplan ist an der Fine Art Newcastle University Student im Abschlussjahr. Er beschäftigt sich mit Nachhaltigkeit und zukunftsorientierten Fragestellungen. In einer Zeit großer Ungewissheit ist es sein Ziel, die Strukturen und Fundamente, auf denen wir unsere Gesellschaft aufbauen, neu zu gestalten. Indem er Grundlagen der Zivilisation in den Fokus nimmt, hofft er, einen Weg zu finden, in dem die Menschheit in Zukunft mit weniger ökologischen und gesellschaftspolitischen Fragen beschäftigt sein muss. | ||
+ | Er wird vom 1. bis 8. August und vom 1. bis 11. September in Linz an Bord der Eleonore sein. | ||

+ | Mein Hauptinteresse an Myzelmaterial ist sein Potenzial zur Herstellung und Konstruktion von Häusern oder für den Transport. Wie nie zuvor werden diese nachhaltigen Materialien erforscht. Allerdings halten Architektur und Transport-Design nicht mit diesem Tempo mit. Gibt es hier private Interessen oder wollen große Unternehmen ihre Position nutzen, um Gewinn zu machen? Leider scheint letzteres der Fall zu sein. Allerdings kann mehr Wissen und öffentliches Engagement für nachhaltige Materialien eine Verschiebung hin zu zukünftigen Designs schaffen. | ||

+ | Das Projekt möchte das Potenzial des Myzels als Baumaterial demonstrieren und vermitteln. Dies ist ein Beispiel für eines der vielen nachhaltigen Materialien, | ||

- | Bio | ||
- | I am a final year undergraduate student of Fine Art at Newcastle University. My practice explores the | ||
- | themes of sustainability and the unimagined future. Living in a time of great uncertainty, | ||
- | and reimagine the structures and foundations on which we build our society. By challenging the | ||
- | fundamental grounds of civilisation, | ||
- | environmental and socio-political issues. Currently, I am working towards my final year Degree Show at | ||
- | Newcastle University. My project explores the production lines of food and energy manufacturing. Primarily | ||
- | exploring the confinements of the domestic space, I am reimagining familiar architectural structures. Whilst | ||
- | combining a multitude of artistic concepts, my work strives to represent a probable solution to the current | ||
- | climate of food production. | ||
- | A portion of my research in 2017 focuses on the introduction of new sustainable materials, such as | ||
- | mycelium bricks and biodegradable plastics. I have recently finalised a proposal for The North-East | ||
- | Sculptor of The Year Award, after being named a shortlisted artist. My proposal, named Manufactured | ||
- | Mycelium, is a series of large domed architectural structures made from mycelium material. The structures | ||
- | will be 10 metres in diameter and will be constructed from wooden dowels encased in a thick layer of | ||
- | mycelium. The mycelium material was chosen to demonstrate the potential of new sustainable materials | ||
- | that we are yet to exploit, providing a glimpse of how we could progress into future architectural and | ||
- | product design. | ||
- | Project Proposal | ||
- | My main interest in mycelium material is its potential to be used in the fabrication and construction of | ||
- | houses or transportation. With sustainable materials being discovered at a rate like never before, why is | ||
- | architectural and transportation design not adapting at a similar pace? Are large corporations utilising their | ||
- | position for sustainable usage or private and financial gain? Unfortunately, | ||
- | However, in my opinion, more education and public exposure to sustainable materials can create a shift in | ||
- | the material choices of future design. | ||
- | Therefore, my proposal will demonstrate and communicate the potential of mycelium as a building material. | ||
- | This will be an example of one of the many sustainable materials that we are yet to fully embrace in design | ||
- | today. I would like this example to be literal and show how this material could function in modern design. I | ||
- | propose to build a small rowing boat out of mycelium and wood. The boat’s main structure will be made | ||
- | from lightweight wooden dowels. The boat will be made in sections, to allow the mycelium covering to grow, | ||
- | and be dried to create the waterproof resultant shell. The sections will be attached together and be made | ||
- | water tight with a water-resistant sealer. The boat will be floating on the surface of a large tank of water. It | ||
- | will be fully functional, allowing the public to see limitless potentials in a range of sustainable, | ||
- | materials that we should exploit. Alongside this sculpture will be a collation of imagery and text from | ||
- | information, | ||
- | be challenging under the time limitations of this opportunity. However, with my positive previous experience | ||
- | of growing mycelium, I think the proposal will be achievable and successful. |
