This is the first application of my seaweed materi

This is the first application of my seaweed material study, made 1,5 years ago. It was the first time the potential of the material revealed itself. It was also the final push to start giving the research full focus.

Since then things have progressed a lot and I hope to show you the results very soon!

Meanwhile, thank you for all the support you are giving!! The new nature economy can only be achieved together 🧑‍🤝‍🧑👭👫👬

♻️Het is de Week van de Circulaire Economie, dus zetten wij circulaire ondernemers in de spotlight!

Als eerst: BlueBlocks met hun project SeaWood.

"SeaWood is een nieuw bouwmateriaal gemaakt van zeewier. Deze vezelplaten zijn 100% natuurlijk, schoon, herbruikbaar en composteerbaar”, vertelt @marjannecuypers van start-up Blue Blocks

🥁 TROMGEROFFEL! Met veel trots presenteerde @citylab010 vorige maand de 47 Rotterdamse initiatiefnemers die dit jaar een startbudget krijgen om hun plannen waar te kunnen maken. En guess what, ook een aantal #bluecitizens vielen in de prijzen!
.
De jury bekroonde Maasplaat, een biocirculair plaatmateriaal van zeewier, en een concept van @marjannecuypers, de circulaire zeepjes van @kusalagifts, Seaweed Yarn en de circulaire food concepten van @falafval.nl en Savfood. Gefeliciteerd - en nu aan de slag 💪
.
💚 CityLab010 ondersteunt en stimuleert de energie van ambitieuze stadsdromers zodat hun dromen voor en in @gemeenterotterdam realiteit worden. Voor meer informatie kijk je op: https://citylab010.nl/

🎉 This Friday, the new and improved@bluecity_lab will open its doors. To celebrate this, we're inviting biodesigners, scientists, artists and YOU to SYMBIOSIS Festival – Collaborating with nature (industry day). Join one of the following online live sessions for professionals:
.
𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁
At @dutchdesignweek, a collaborative project of partners presented a maquette of a biocircular home built from various materials, production techniques and waste flows in #TheExplodedView. Together with various makers, we'll discuss structural questions raised by this ambitious project about the materials, the economics of scale, and local scaling up. With @pascalleboucq from @companynewheroes, @waterweg.co and @marjannecuypers.
.
𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗕𝗶𝗼 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
In this workshop Roy Cremers, founder and former managing director of creative crowdfunding platform @voordekunst, explains how crowdfunding can be an interesting way to (kick)start your business. Two bioneers share their own experiences with crowdfunding: @eduardabastian raised €6000 for upcycling hop fibres in @the.hop.project.
.
𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
How can we, by working together with nature, initiate the transition to a new economy of not just taking, but giving. In this workshop, we explore various routes to a more sustainable soil, what a good earnings model can be to realize this and what the most sustainable solution is. With Luuk Braam from @denouden_groep and Fernande Pool, social scientist turned farmer and founder of AltVisions.
.
𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢 + 𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦
How can we live, work, play and produce in symbiosis with the ecosystems around us? Join one of the live sessions, workshops, matchmaking sessions or take a VR tour through #bluecitylab on the industry day to meet fellow professionals in the field.

It seems like seaweed has almost infinite possibilities. It sequesters CO2 faster than plants and trees. A real carbon sucker and regenerator of the oceans. All kinds of value chains become more and more feasible, like BlueBlocks reveals. BlueBlocks aims to support the transition to environmental and economically sustainable (food) systems from a design perspective. Join the Double Nature Talk with 1500 club member Marjanne Cuypers Wednesday November 4, 8-9pm CET.

Last day of @dutchdesignweek 2020! But NOT the last day of #TheExplodedView 💫
.
We are just getting started, as the installation will be traveling to different locations from here, and the research on biobased and circular building will continue. So all researchers, policy makers, designers, builders, makers, architects and all of you who want to contribute: join the journey and let's make a bio-circular economy the new standard together!
.
End of November the installation will be build in BlueCity 💙 Hope to see you there, online or irl!!

The Exploded View is officially done!!!! 🥳
Here’s a sneakpeak from our opening today, where we could raise a glass (digitally) with our team members and amazing partners that all helped make this possible. A big thank you to everyone involved. We have many virtual tours, workshops and other surprises prepared for you during this upcoming week, but for now: join us on a video tour via the link in bio 🙌

It's the final countdown!!!!! The Exploded View is all set and this year's virtual Dutch Design Week is officially starting in 2 days.

The Exploded View is the result of a collaboration between many valuable partners, and the centrepiece of The Embassy of Biobased and Circular building.

After extensive exploration and material research, a part of the SeaWood Series will be shown for the very first time during the @dutchdesignweek in The Exploded View:
.
"A detached house that has been rebuilt using circular methods and biobased materials. This unique project shows the existing and future possibilities of sustainable building and living" (New Heroes)
.
It is part of the multiple year research program of The Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building.

DUS WAT GAAN WIJ DOEN? festival!!
.
🏃‍♀️Zie ik je daar? Doe mee! Er zijn genoeg inspirerende sprekers, workshops en acties om deze dag van de duurzaamheid helemaal top te maken!

❇️ En om 15:00 uur deel ik in 20 slides graag met jou wat ik doe en hoe dat zo is gekomen, en hoe we dat ook samen kunnen doen.
.
👌Samen gaat het namelijk wel lukken om die klimaatverandering de goede kant op te buigen!

For the semester 'Circular and Social Design', thr

For the semester 'Circular and Social Design', three groups of students came to visit our workspaces at BlueCity and the BlueCityLab last weeks. So nice!!
.
BlueBlocks is a partner organization for this semester of Industrial Design Engineering at The Hague University of Applied Sciences. The students will work on a circular designed product with one or two of our biomaterials.
.
As our next generation designers they will at some point play a large role in materials selection and application. With such power comes responsibility, and the need for knowledge and skills to act accordingly.
.
Working with these new materials will familiarize them with the strengths and opportunities of biobased materials, and transform them into concrete examples of application in sustainable designs.
.
Very curious to learn from them as well: how these new designers imagine and shape our future.
