Sustainable studio: jewelry and accessories made from recycled plastic

Marcix Basso, Leonardo Sbampato and Vinicius Santos

As part of IED São Paulo's mini-workshop program at Lab VIVO during the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, we will have a hands-on activity promoted by the Rede Fab Lab Livre SP of the Municipal Department of Innovation and Technology focused on creating artifacts from recycled plastic.

It will be an opportunity to discuss reuse, circularity, design and maker culture as possible socially and environmentally responsible responses to the climate emergency, the central theme of the Biennial in this edition.
This workshop will be taught by technicians Marcix Basso, Leonardo Sbampato and Vinicius Santos.

Participants will be invited to explore the world of plastics, highlighting both their versatility and creative potential, as well as the challenges and environmental impacts associated with their use. Throughout the event, the aim is to deconstruct stigmas surrounding the material, highlighting possibilities for transforming and repurposing plastic waste. In the practical phase, participants will be guided to create unique pieces and accessories by reusing these materials, fostering environmental awareness integrated with artistic expression.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
