    A Scalability Assessment of Biofabrics as an Alternative Architectural Construction Material
    (Sociedad Iberoamericana de Gráfica Digital (SIGraDi), 2024-11-15) Gözde Damla Turhan Haskara; Filiz Özbengi Uslu; Selen Çiçek; Anıl Dinç Demirbilek
    This research explores the scalability of biopolymer applications in recent biobased textile design applications for architectural construction. It particularly focuses on the transition from laboratory experimentation to architectural construction practice with the aid of computational design and digital fabrication. The research aims at harvesting spatial structures through the re-characterization processes for desired material properties. The methodology is divided into four steps: Modification of the biofabric formulation derived from bacterial cellulose (BC); tensile strength tests; computational design and digital fabrication of a catenary geometry as a scaffold; bioassembly process; and observations at different environmental conditions after the removal of the scaffold. The results have shown that the material properties, such as the tensile strength, structural integrity, high capacity of water detention, and heat insulation, differentiate bacterial cellulose-based biopolymers as circular alternatives to the current conventional architectural construction materials and processes, having us reevaluate our connection with nature through architecture.

    Biodegradation in Design Process: Digital building catalog for bio-inspired design proposals
    (Education and Research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe (eCAADe) Conference 43rd, 2025) Ercan, İrem; Özbengi Uslu, Filiz; Kayabaş, Mehmet Ali
    Through the incorporation of fungal biodegradation processes into architectural design, a novel approach to sustainability is possible, which goes beyond the selection of materials and growth processes and enables insights from natural decomposition. While biodegradable materials are increasingly studied, the potential of biodegradation itself to shape design remains largely unexplored. Although the biodegradation process is seen as the final stage of design, the existing knowledge of structural deformation in nature could be an inspiration for the design process in the early stages. This study analyzes the structural transformations of five fungal species during biodegradation in mesh-like frameworks as a basis for future research. This research involves a literature review, experimental analysis, and digital catalog development, resulting in MyCo-Design, a platform that documents species-specific biodegradation data. Structural changes such as shrinkage, curvature, stiffness reduction, and volume decrease were captured through photography and 3D scanning techniques, providing a resource for bio-inspired designs. MyCo-Design platform provides designers with information by species, structural forms, and degradation parameters to use as inspiration in the early stages of their design process. This platform features an AI-powered interface component that enables users to generate visuals based on design prompts inspired by experimental observation data. During the testing process, the platform showed potential in inspiring structural solutions based on biodegradation observation. The findings of the study highlight the potential to generate circular inspiration in the early stages of design through a tool created at the intersection of nature, humans, and artificial intelligence
