Material Wonders 3: what plants want
The third edition of a summerschool for young audiences in collaboration with Plant Science Center, ETH. Through experimentation with bio-materials, upcycling strategies, digital design and basic digital fabrication methods we created a rich pegboard green wall made of Schiffbau Theater waste, filled with 3d printed vases, water dispensers and various artificial plants.
