Sheep raised primarily for food is a source of “poor” quality wool. Their wool is treated as an excess material that can be sold below price or cannot be sold to any company at all.

The aim of the project is to bring the idea of sustainability to architecture and the textile industry through design and additive manufacturing. The experimental wool material examines the boundaries of wool waste which can be used as an architectural material. Wool with its thermal insulation properties combined with clay additives and 3D printing technology should thus solve the problems of local farmers, the wool supply chain and material recycling.

The material research is based on local problems that seeks to redefine collective consciousness. At the same time, it is trying to spread out how to work with waste and new technologies in the architecture or design field. It could be an ecological replacement for many of the resistant non-degradable materials we use every day.
