Project description
Revolutionising construction with waste-sourced bio-based materials
The increasing demand for resources in the green transition has created a need for sustainable materials and innovative solutions to enhance sustainability throughout supply and manufacturing chains. Unfortunately, the suddenness and urgency of this issue have led to a shortage of viable solutions, posing a significant challenge to achieving green goals. The EIC-funded RAW project aims to address this by developing a revolutionary resource model for the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sectors, focusing on the use of waste-sourced and fast-growing bio-based materials, as well as rethinking design and fabrication methods. The project will concentrate on alternative materials and will assemble a team of world-leading researchers in material sourcing, characterisation, adaptive fabrication, and non-prescriptive computational design.
Objective
This project proposes a breakthrough resource model for architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) fostering a steep change in the way we design and fabricate our built environment, overcoming the fundamental limits that the natural variability sets within bio-based material streams for the green transformation of the industry. With a central focus on the alternative materials of waste-sourced and fast-growing materials, RAW assembles world-leading researchers and entrepreneurs in material sourcing (UIBK, LTU, OMTRE), non-destructive material characterisation (LTU, DTU), non-prescriptive computational design, and adaptive fabrication (KADK, USTUT) in a unique consortium to establish the foundation of a novel resource model for AEC linking design, analysis and fabrication through an innovative computational infrastructure and embracing the variability of resources, with the ambition to minimise waste, enable circularity, increase carbon storage in building, allow uptake of currently disregarded bio-based materials in AEC and pave the way for new aesthetic expressions and tectonics in architecture.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
