Renew is a material study of textile waste. The project responds to the 2022 implementation of textile waste collection in Denmark, by investigating the potentials of recycling wool using green chemistry in a cross-disciplinary collaboration between biological- and chemical engineering, and design. Renew explores the transformation from wool waste to fibres and form through material innovation.

Proposing a future application: Marble wool can be molded into objects.
Fibre to form: Material display of fibre to form experiments. Different samples of wool waste dissolved into pulp and pressed.
The project’s technical aspects were supported by extern consultant and textile biologist Birgit Bonefeld from Aarhus University. Working cross-disciplinary contribute to a strategic and holistic project approach.

Growing - Mature Human Life

Andelen af ældre vokser i vores befolkning men vores samfund er ikke designet til de mange udfordringer, der uundgåeligt følger med aldring. 150 arkitekt- og designstuderende fra Det Kongelige Akademi udforsker i projektet ’GROWING – Mature Human Life’, hvordan man designer inkluderende til den ældre befolkningsgruppe i vores samfund. Projektet er et samarbejde mellem Det Kongelige Akademi, Bevica Fonden og Fonden Ensomme Gamles Værn og udspringer af Det Kongelige Akademis engagement i FN's Verdensmål og dets overordnede tema "Leaving no one behind".
