The Exploded View Materials & Methods
The Exploded View Materials & Methods

The ones that already exist but are still difficult to find their way to the construction site but also developments that still need serious support to develop and scale up. Applications and materials of today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

The Urban Shelf
The Urban Shelf
Tuebingen, Germany
The Urban Shelf is less of a finished project but rather an ongoing design process to develop innovative human centred neighbourhood typologies. The design is driven by future human scale mobility and the decoupled support structure and infill units allow for holistic ecologic, economic and social design strategies. The architectural prototype in Tübingen, Germany works similar, just in smaller scale: a beautiful, sustainable and inclusive place for students and refugees.

Cradle to Cradle-based production
An SME’s innovative transition to greener production of sustainable acoustic solutions
Tranbjerg J, Denmark
The building sector accounts for approximately 40 per cent of the world’s resource consumption. There is consequently a need to produce sustainably and think in circular cycles where waste becomes a new resource. This is the core idea behind the Cradle-to-Cradle design concept on which we at Troldtekt A/S have based our strategy and production of Troldtekt acoustic panels. Since we implemented Cradle to Cradle in 2012, we have proved with tangible results that an SME can also be at the forefront
