Semester
2023/24 WS

We investigated the early lifecycle stages of the processing of regional stones (extraction: Lasa Marmo, production: südtirol.stein) in South Tyrol with a special focus on manufacturing waste exploring its material qualities (characterization with Tetyana Drozd), small scale processing (frantoio sociale with studio GISTO), reuse potential (do-it-yourself recipes at BITZ fablab) and digital manufacturing (clay-printing with Druckwerk). The results are documented and shared with at the unibz material library (archiving with Eva Bauer).
