Conference Object 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 DemirbilekThis 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.Conference Object Biobased Material Computation and Digital Fabrication for Bacterial Cellulose-Based Biofabrics(Ecaade-education & research computer aided architectural design europe, 2023) Turhan, Gözde Damla; Çicek, Selen; Özbengi Uslu, FilizThe collaboration with biological organisms, biomaterial computation, and digital fabrication offers new possibilities for reconsidering the relationship between human and non-human living forms. These organisms allow for the creation of materials, design and manufacturing processes, and end products to become more closely aligned with natural systems and processes, as they are derived from renewable resources and have a lower environmental impact than synthetic materials. In this research, by focusing on nature and non-human living organisms, biobased material computation and digital fabrication were explored to develop biofabrics. This research offers a fully biodegradable process with zero waste and unlimited supply, enhanced with the resources provided by nature, including nature's design and manufacturing methods. To create this sustainable, circular cycle, one of the most abundant materials in the world, the purest form of cellulose, is produced by bacteria such as Acetobacter Xylinus (A. xylinus). In collaboration with A. xylinus, bacterial cellulose-based biofabrics were grown and harvested. The methodology was divided into four main stages: Digital fabrication of a customized fashion dummy which involves 3D modeling, laser-cutting, and assembly of a fashion dummy; a stochastic scaffold design for the bacterial cellulose biofilm layer; biobased material formulation for developing a biofabric; and bio-assembly. The outcome has been exhibited at Good Design Izmir 7, a national curated exhibition among the invited guests' section, and had a chance to meet a larger audience to raise awareness. As a result, it was seen that incorporating biobased materials into the digital fabrication process has the potential to not only improve the performance and sustainability of materials but also to encourage designers to reconsider the relationship between humans and ecology. Future studies can include the scalability of such systems for broader design realms, such as biobased architectural solutions for buildings, especially lightweight structures, as well as industrial design products such as packaging.Article Analyzing Sustainability in Fashion Through Bio-Synthetic Materials(Firenze University Press, 2025) Vuruşkan, Arzu; Uslu, Filiz ÖzbengiThe environmental consequences of the fashion industry are undeniably severe and contribute to environmental pollution and degradation in many ways. While sustainability discussions are continuing, new material trends are emerging and the source, production process, and experience of these materials also affect the fashion industry. Synthetic biology is a promising tool combining bio-design and bioengineering. This new bio-synthetic approach offers an innovative path toward ethical and clean fashion production by transforming microbes or bacteria into “living factories” that produce sustainable materials. However, a broader evaluation is required to grasp the full potential and ethical challenges, especially regarding the commodification of living organisms for mass production. It is imperative that research be conducted to assess the environmental, social, and economic impacts of bio-synthetic materials, particularly in the context of the “living factories” concept. Considering the ethical risks of exploitative practices and the need for transparency, this study examines bio-synthetic applications in fashion, their impacts on sustainability, and their implications for planetary well-being. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Master Thesis The role of bio-design in restoring fashion with a focus on well-being(İzmir Ekonomi Üniversitesi, 2024) Özbengi Uslu, Filiz; Kipöz Manaflı, Şölen Utkunİnsan merkezli zorunluluklar üzerine kurulu mevcut ekonomik çerçeve, önemli ölçüde ekolojik bozulmaya yol açmıştır. Bu endişeler döngüsel tasarım metodolojilerinin temelini oluşturmaktadır. Buna göre, moda üretimine daha döngüsel ve ekolojik açıdan daha iyi huylu alternatifler bulmaya ve bireylerin 'moda' ile olan kalıcı ilişkisini yeniden değerlendirmeye acil ihtiyaç vardır. Bu bağlamda, biyo-tasarım, üretimde etik ve maddi uygulamaları, döngüselliği ve insan ve gezegenin refahı için çıkarımları vurgulayan dönüştürücü bir disiplin olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Doğayla işbirliği yapan bir tasarım metodolojisini savunan kavramsal bir çerçevenin rehberlik ettiği bu çalışma, biyo-tasarım yoluyla insan ve doğa arasındaki ilişkiyi ve bu ilişkinin ekolojik sistemlerle yeniden bağlantı kuran tekstil ve giysiler yoluyla refaha nasıl katkıda bulunabileceğini araştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bir parçası olarak, Sun Tekstil Ar-Ge Merkezi ile yapılan uygulamalı bir işbirliği, deneysel olarak uygulanan biyo-tasarımın yeni tekstil ve malzeme inovasyonları yoluyla endüstriyel ölçekte nasıl yer bulmaya çalıştığını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Antioksidan özellikleriyle bilinen deniz yosunu bazlı bir elyaf olan SeaCellTM kullanılarak yeşil deniz yosunu (Ulva lactuca) ile boyanmış bir örme kumaş üretilmiştir. Bunu takiben, döngüsellik ve ekolojik refah ilkelerini bünyesinde barındıran bir giysi üretilmiştir. Ayrıca, yeşil bir deniz yosunu türü olan deniz marulu (Ulva lactuca) ile biyoplastik malzeme denemeleri gerçekleştirilerek moda endüstrisindeki potansiyel uygulamaları araştırılmıştır. Bu pratik uygulamalar, deniz yosunu bazlı malzemelerin insan refahına ve ekosisteme olumlu katkıda bulunma potansiyelini vurgularken, daha temiz üretim süreçleri yoluyla daha döngüsel bir moda endüstrisi yaratma kapasitesi sunmaktadır.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Biobased Material Computation and Digital Fabrication for Bacterial Cellulose-Based Biofabrics(Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe, 2023) Turhan, Gözde Damla; Çiçek, Selen; Özbengi Uslu, FilizThe collaboration with biological organisms, biomaterial computation, and digital fabrication offers new possibilities for reconsidering the relationship between human and non-human living forms.

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. © 2025, Education and research in Computer Aided Architectural Design in Europe.
