Research & Ideation: INSPIRED BY THE GREENEST COUNTRY ON EARTH (ONDROSUKU NANGA LERI FU A BUSI)¶

Suriname is the greenest country on earth with 93% rainforest coverage. The Amazon rainforest holds an unimaginable wealth of natural resources, and conservation of this is acknowledged as one of the biggest assets in the battle against climate change. My great inspiration for Fabricademy will be the Amazone rainforest. Sustainable use of the natural resources: plants, leaves, seeds, forest fruits, flowers, moss, mushrooms, bugs and animal mimicry. I'm also interested in reclaimed wood, wood waste and sustainable use of trees eg. branches, bark as material. Dont keep me to just these categories since I plan for this Fabricademy to be an adventure both in the lab and the bush.
WILDLIFE (BUS'METI)¶
Apart from wildlife we know that are treatened with extinction, new animal and plant species are still being discovered by scientists. These are some of my favorites:

Tech & Nature¶
Robotic animal spies are gaining more space in researching and gaining knowledge about the natural environment. This is very advanced technology that gives an interesting interaction between robotics and the wild and alot of insight into the animal kingdom. I can see some aspects of fabricademy in this discipline including fabrication of skins that biomimic nature, development of new materials, digital bodies and soft robotics. In addition Fabricademy touches on the electronics, that are ofcourse much more advanced in these robotic creatures. You can find some links here:

FABRICADEMY ALUMNI¶
Sooooo many beautiful pages! My inspiration among others, because she shared so much about biomaterials and recipes, is Loes Bogers.
