Abstract Reevaluating the materials that shape our built environment holds significant importance for sustainable construction. This research introduces newly developed natural fibre pultruded profiles, composed of flax fibres and bio-resin, customised specific properties targeted applications. Engineered to withstand both bending compression loads, these profiles have been subjected rigorous mechanical testing demonstrate their flexural strength, as well flexibility. The emphasis lies on bottom-up design approach, guiding creation applications suitable this innovative material in various lightweight structures. paper presents a series case studies showcasing use biocomposite diverse structural contexts. initial focus was active-bending structures, highlighting material’s flexibility, showcased at ten-metre span structure, first large-scale demonstrator. However, given versatile properties, it is wide range other Key discussed include reciprocal, tensegrity deployable modular planar or space frame systems. These offer alternative traditional composites, providing eco-friendly construction solutions while contributing industry sustainability goals.

Material selection is essential for advancing sustainability in construction. Biocomposites contribute significantly to raising the awareness of materials derived from biomass. This paper explores design development and application novel natural fibre pultruded biocomposite profiles a deployable system. Development methods include geometrical studies create system that transforms flat three-dimensional. Physical digital models were used refine geometry, while connection elements designed suit material properties deployability requirements. The first case study, at furniture scale, demonstrates use connected using threading lightweight multifunctional enabling easy transport storage. can be locked various heights different purposes. realised structure weighs 4 kg, supporting weights up 150 kg. second study applies architecturally an adaptive kinetic facade, adjusting sun’s position optimal shading, providing 70% daylight when open as little 20% closed. These two structures validate developed system, showcasing versatility such configurations. approach enhances architecture by lightweight, adaptable, eco-friendly building solutions.

Material selection is crucial for advancing sustainability in the building sector. While composites have become popular, biocomposites play a pivotal role raising awareness of materials deriving from biomass resources. This study presents new linear biocomposite profile, fabricated using pultrusion technology, continuous process producing endless fiber-reinforced with consistent cross-sections. The developed profiles are made flax fibers and plant-based resin. paper focuses on application these tensegrity systems, which combine compression tension elements to achieve equilibrium. In this study, were used as elements, leveraging their properties. methods include geometrical development physical digital models optimize geometry based material properties dimensions. A parametric algorithm including physics simulations was purpose. Further investigations explore options members connections, well assembly processes. results several prototypes different scales. Initially, basic principle built explored. lessons learned applied final prototype 1.5 m furniture scale, specifically chair, integrating hanging membrane serving seat. structure validates system, proving feasibility employing configurations. Furthermore, considerations scaling up systems an architectural level discussed, highlighting potential enhance through use renewable eco-friendly materials, while promoting design applications.
