A symbol of carefree consumerism and revolutionary innovation, plastics have spurred the imagination of designers and architects for decades. Today, the dramatic consequences of the plastic boom have become obvious and plastics have lost their utopian appeal. The exhibition \u00bbPlastic: Remaking Our World\u00ab at the Vitra Design Museum will examine the history and future of this controversial material \u2013 from its meteoric rise in the twentieth century to its environmental impact and to cutting-edge solutions for a more sustainable use of plastic. Exhibits will include rarities from the dawn of the plastic age and spectacular objects of the pop era as well as numerous contemporary designs and projects ranging from pragmatic product innovations to solutions for cleaning up the oceans and bioplastics made from algae or mycelium.&#8221; (Official announcement by the curators)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Professorship of Sustainable Construction has been invited to present extracts from their mycelium research in this exhibition.
