[00:00:05.660]
Inventing useful building materials
[00:00:07.980]
from unwanted local plants.
[00:00:10.430]
That's the goal of an interior design research team.
[00:00:15.860]
By combining overabundant native
[00:00:18.260]
and invasive plants,
[00:00:20.020]
with a variety of natural and organic binders
[00:00:23.210]
like bio based resin and limecrete,
[00:00:26.340]
students create new building materials
[00:00:28.700]
with a variety of colors, textures, and densities.
[00:00:33.170]
Since my undergrad, I have really found the idea of
[00:00:35.230]
sort of sustainability and plants
[00:00:37.410]
really exciting to be used
[00:00:38.660]
within the interior environment
[00:00:40.270]
and now I'm going through this process,
[00:00:42.020]
I'm really learning like the kind of messy
[00:00:44.700]
back and forth of what it means to figure out
[00:00:47.150]
what plants can be turned into
[00:00:48.820]
and how you can apply them to
[00:00:50.220]
just about anything throughout space.
[00:00:53.130]
The research team,
[00:00:54.450]
led by faculty members
[00:00:56.010]
Kendra Ordia and Nate Bisek
[00:00:58.590]
is experimenting with red cedar,
[00:01:01.260]
duck weed, and phragmites,
[00:01:04.330]
also known as the common reed.
