It investigates bio-based and biodegradable polymers for concrete formworks. The climate crisis challenges architects and designers to explore alternative opportunities for sustainable fabrication processes. Biopolymers have emerged as a potential material to replace petroleum-based plastics used in the built environment. This research aims to rethink the materials used in the construction of buildings and suggests introducing bio-based and biodegradable materials in architecture.</p>}, journal={Open Conference Proceedings}, author={Kemper, Benjamin Norbert}, year={2022}, month={Dec.}, pages={65–70} }
