La creazione della plastica è stata rivoluzionaria, purtroppo a causa del suo uso improprio è diventata un problema per l'ambiente. La plastica è utilizzata in diversi settori come imballaggi, edilizia, tessile, ecc. Essendo l'edilizia la seconda industria a produrre grandi quantità di plastica nel mondo. La necessità di creare alternative per ogni settore è diventata imminente. Questa tesi è incentrata sulla bioplastica, un nuovo materiale che potrebbe essere applicato all'architettura temporanea per la sua natura effimera per affrontare il problema dei rifiuti. L'ambiente è stato influenzato dalla mancanza di consapevolezza su come la materialità è stata applicata attraverso il design. L'obiettivo della tesi è progettare un padiglione leggero che educhi al concetto di economia circolare: l'importanza dell'adattabilità di ogni elemento e il suo impatto. La ricerca è stata particolarmente focalizzata sullo sviluppo della bioplastica e sulla sua implementazione su scala architettonica.

Abstract
The creation of plastic was revolutionary, unfortunately due to its misuse it has become a problem for the environment. Plastic is used in several industries such as packaging, building construction, textiles, etc. being building construction the second industry to produce large quantities of plastic in the world. The need to create alternatives for each sector has become imminent. This thesis is focused on bioplastic, a novel material that could be applied to temporary architecture due to its ephemeral nature to tackle the problem of waste. The environment has been affected by the lack of awareness on how materiality has been applied through design. The aim of the thesis is to design a lightweight pavilion that educates on the concept of circular economy: the importance of the adaptability of each element and its impact. Research was particularly focused on the development of bioplastic and its implementation on the architectural scale.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
