GIY: Design Sketches
Grow it Yourself | (0)
Grow it Yourself (or GIY) is the idea that one can grow an entire product. For my main focus, I am designing a jig for growing a table from bamboo. Case studies, such as attempting to grow a right angle, will serve as helpful data for later attempts at growing "parts" or whole objects. I believe that this could be augment future manufacturing practices. If combined with genetic modification, one could harvest designer building materials. By cultivating these super-materials, we will lessen deforestation.
I will also devise supplemental studies of how one can manipulate bamboo through various environmental stimuli that could ...
