Inspiration from Jasmine Johnson: ‘’This pro Inspiration from Jasmine Johnson: 

‘’This project combined both elements from both technologies and studio. My studio project was based around the practice of gathering and reuse, therefore, I wanted to integrate this ethos into my structural envelope.
The primary structure of my buildings is steel fame, constructed using reclaimed steel I beams from the site. The main insulation layer is sheep’s wool insulation, however, adding an additional layer of insulation would optimise the buildings environmental performance regarding operational carbon. I decided to create this layer from waste textiles, as in the UK, approximately 350,000 tonnes of clothing waste end up in landfills each year.
[...]
To take this further, I decided to analyse this insulation in my Technologies Part C project. I developed my own experiment to approximate the thermal conductivity of the compressed fabric, and to see which materials would offer the best insulating properties. I then created my own fabric bricks to apply to my model.
This project has taught me that construction, architecture, and design does not have follow traditional methods and techniques. Creativity and sustainability consciousness can help to create new ideas about how buildings can be created to reduce waste. This section model shows the woven insulation and structural envelope of my project. Material for weaving consists of waste textiles and other waste materials, which is then woven into the structure by the local community.”
