Brief Bio-plastic factory The Brief handed to Bio-Morph from BREEAM was to build a facilty that can manufacture bio plastic cladding panels for the construction industry. The panels would be used on the facade of buildings. The process for the building is to take in potatoes from local restaurants whilst growing potatoes to create plant starch. The starch then is processed into bioplastic filament, which is then printed from robots into 3d panels which are bespoke to Order. The facility program requirements are as follows: 1. Growing Potatoes Cultivating 100kg Potatoes a month will yield 23kg of potato starch the starch can either be used through the bioplastic process or surplus starch can be sold to the market, as starch has many different qualities. 2. Bio plastic factory The factory will have a range of machinery from crushing the potatoes into starch milk distillery through to starch powdering and drying. Starch is then mixed into glycerol and hydrocholric acid to create bioplastic granules. The granules are heated and extruded through a single screw extruder into Bioplastic filament. 3. 3D Printing Bio plastic panels Robotic arms will then print the custom designed panels. The panels will then go through testing and will be stored before being sent to sites. 4. Offices The offices will accommodate 40 staff from admin of the neccessarry suppliers and marketing of the panels, sales team, and logistics. The factory technicians will also have a station here. 4. Office canteen Coffee shop. Light and requirement for a centralised space 5. Depot for deliveries

Public gardens offer the local community a chance to relax off the polluted road.
The starch is turned into bio plastic granules. The granules are then extruded into a filament for 3d printing.
Starch production stage. The starch in extracted from the potatoe and filtered into a milk where it is then dried into powder.
The green line follows the passage of the public into the building. A office employee using the canteen or sitting in one of the courtyards.
Potatoes every 4 months are harvested each allotment yield is roughly 80 kg, all for 350kg potatoes per 3 months Depot entrance. unloading of materials Start of manufactoring process

5000mm
Cultivating 300kg Potatoes a month will yield 25kg of potato starch the starch can either be used through the bioplastic process or surplus starch can be sold to the market, as starch has many different qualities. The ideal amount of space for the potato plant decided the amount of space require for the grid. The space was then divide upon the site
Potatoe plants have 500mm, for every 10 plants grown 37 grams of starch
5000mm
The potatoes could be situated near the road and grown with other crop like ivy which like to take particulates out of the air
Open courtyard containing a variety of trees from shade in summer and reatining rain water.
Potatoes need water and sunlight to growth and give a good yield.
Water retained through the courtyard could irrigate the potatoes
The white is the green open air part of the building
GRID defined through dimension of green spaces and potatoe gorwing areas
Sun studie January
Purple is the factory
Circulation in green is the public acces
Sun studies showed that throughout the year the area was sun but the area on the west of the site had more sun. So for growing potatoes the facade towards the east would be better
Sun studies June The sun in june is high in the sky, for the offcies i will have to create some shade. This drawing representing the pollution on the road and the possibility of creating a barrier between the road and the interior of the site. I like the concept of the building greening the road.
