What is the Bio-fabricated materials for sustainable and beautiful construction Call?
Expected Outcomes
• Demonstration that innovative, sustainably sourced, aesthetically appealing bio-fabricated materials can be manufactured at mass-scale and competitive costs
Scope Requirements
• Development and laboratory and/or pilot-scale testing of at least two bio-fabricated construction materials with innovative features beyond existing market offerings
• Demonstration of material suitability for interior, exterior and/or structural uses
• Full compliance with applicable EU standards, codes and regulatory frameworks for construction materials
• Comprehensive evaluation of each material’s structural, mechanical, thermal, acoustic, health-related, durability and aesthetic performance, including response to environmental variations (e.g. weather conditions)
• Feasibility study for mass-scale production, integrating high-technology manufacturing processes and digital tools (3D printing, robotics, BIM, parametric design, sensors, AI)
• Environmental footprint analysis via a standardized life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology
• Assessment of social and economic impacts through social LCA (SLCA) and life-cycle costing (LCC) approaches
• Integration of a participatory and transdisciplinary working method, involving public authorities, local actors, civil society and private owners, and drawing on multiple disciplines (architecture, design, arts, engineering)
• Allocation of at least 0.2% of the project’s total budget to share findings with the New European Bauhaus hub (HORIZON-MISS-2024-NEB-01-03)
