The
Concept
Creating modular building elements that are more efficient, adaptable and environmentally responsible.
The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global CO₂ emissions, energy use, and resource consumption.
The problems we tackle
Current building practices often rely on non-renewable materials and linear production models, leading to high levels of waste, limited recyclability, and environmental impacts that are no longer sustainable.
There is a growing demand for smarter, more adaptable building solutions that can respond to climate change, urbanisation, and new performance requirements such as energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and safety.
Our Solution
© AIMEN
BIOGEMSE Project develops advanced manufacturing of bio-intelligent, sustainable, circular and safe, modular construction products for pioneering a new way of building under a modern, aesthetically appealing, and industrialised architecture.
In doing so, BIOGEMSE aims to unveil the potential of bio-based materials to deliver bio-intelligent performance, boosting their potential as a replacement for conventional cements, at a large scale.
Bio-based materials at large scale
The project targets solutions under 3 key interrelated working fields
Circular and sustainable
bio-based materials
for additive manufacturing
Production
“biologisation”
through highly flexible and cost-effective digital manufacturing technologies
Manufacturing-enabled bio-intelligent product performance
through bio-inspired, design, materials and manufacturing-processes derived active behaviour.
