MIND &MATTER Material Trends to Watch in 2018

From algae-derived plastics to biomimetic insulation, these materials will likely make a splash in design and construction this year.

By Blaine Brownell 4

“C

reativity is the unique and defining trait of our species,” writes biologist E.O. Wilson in The Origins of Creativity (Liveright, 2017). It is also, he argues, fundamentally biological. While architecture inspired by naturally occurring phenomena is nothing new, biomimetic materials and production methods are still making substantial inroads in the architecture and engineering industries.

The following biobased products and technologies inspired by living organisms paint a compelling and creative future for the built environment in 2018.

Reclaimed Wood No list of current material trends should be devoid of wood. As examples of tall timber construction make frequent news headlines, architects and designers are looking to other wood-based products for environmental and aesthetic reasons. Repurposed wood fulfills

both objectives, providing the visual and tactile warmth of wood with a lower ecological footprint than other materials—including virgin wood. Netherlands-based Houtmerk makes Replex, solid wood panels made from pieces of recycled wood. The laminated boards provide visual evidence of their former lives as discarded furniture, including the profiles of decorative moldings.

British designer Tristan Titeux makes wood furniture in a similar way, by combining strips of waste materials.

His Milo series consists not only of reclaimed solid wood, but also of reused particle board, plywood, medium-density fiberboard, and other forms of engineered lumber. Though not all repurposed wood products are visually pleasing or well-crafted, both Houtmerk and Titeux have devised successful means of aggregating similar cuts of old wood in aesthetically striking wholes.

Study about healthy benefits of tea Drinking at least two cups of tea a day may dramatically reduce a person’s chances of dying following a heart attack, a study suggests. Researchers said they suspect properties found in black and green tea may be protecting the heart. “The results were more dramatic than I anticipated,” said Dr. Kenneth Mukamal, who led the study, which was published May 6, 2002 in the American Heart Association’s journal, Circulation.

The heavy tea drinkers in the study -- those who drank two or more cups of tea a day -had a 44 percent lower death rate following their heart attack, compared with nondrinkers.

The study found even a benefit in moderate tea drinkers. Those who drank fewer than 14 cups a week had a 28 percent lower death rate.

Stress-reducer

Researchers said there’s good reason to believe it’s the flavonoids -- antioxidants found naturally in various foods derived from plants -- that are protecting the heart by relaxing the blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. There’s also evidence to suggest flavonoids may prevent LDL cholesterol -- the so-called bad cholesterol -- from becoming really bad cholesterol.

So, should everyone start drinking tea to avoid death after a heart attack? Mukamal isn’t making that recommendation yet. “Those who’ve had a heart attack and have been worried about caffeine in tea should be reassured,” he said.

Types of tea Black * Black teas come from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis. * These teas come mostly from plantations in Africa, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. * Research suggests that drinking black and green teas may help prevent cancer and heart disease.

Green * Green teas are also made from Camellia sinensis, but through a process that differs from black tea. * While flavonoids in green tea are different from those found in black tea, the total level and their overall antioxidant activity are similar in both teas.

White * White teas are the rarest in the world, produced on a very limited scale in China and Sri Lanka.

Compressed Teas * One type is Tuancha, meaning “tea balls,” which are made in differing sizes, the smallest about the size of a table tennis ball.

Hawaii

This area, at the north end of the resort, is definitely the most family-friendly, and as we walked the grounds the next few days, I came to understand the Four Seasons Hualalai as an ingenious piece of social engineering. It’s laid out as a series of interlocking crescents along the ocean, each of which speaks to a different life stage: At one end lies King’s Pond; at the other, the golf course, with areas better suited for singles on romantic getaways and families with older kids in between. The resort’s seven pools exemplify this idea: a short walk from our room, we found the Seashell Pool, a classic family pool surrounded by palapa

cabanas, with an infinity edge that looks out over the Ocean Pool, a protected area off the beachfront that is an ideal place for children to learn to snorkel. Behind the Seashell Pool is the very shallow, sandy-bottomed Keiki Pool, where Chi could camp out on a chaise and drink rosé, leaving the kids more or less to their own devices, when I got a massage at the spa. Walk a little further along the oceanfront promenade and you’ll come to the more grown-up Beach Tree Pool, where the emphasis is on quietude, and then the truly adult Palm Grove Pool, which has a swimup bar that serves a sensational Hendrick’scilantrocucumber- jalapeño number called a Cool

BEST HIDDEN PLACES IN HAWAII Kauai’s Spalding Monument

T

he monument itself, built to honor a former plantation manager, is not the real goal of your outing. The visit is worthwhile because of the views and the hikes. The sugar plantations have closed and future use of the land is not certain, So this is a good time to enjoy the sights here.

& Spicy. One morning, I got away by myself for a stargazing and sunrise tour of Mauna Kea, the millionyear-old dormant volcano whose summit is the highest point in the state of Hawaii.

“Thank you for not being afraid of the volcano, and the hurricane, and the 2 a.m. wakeup,” said Justin Larkin, our driver and guide from Hawaii Forest & Trail, as the Sprinter van carrying 14 bleary-eyed travelers bumped up the side of the mountain in the predawn light. He explained that the ancient Polynesians had thought of Mauna Kea as the belly button of the Hawaiians. The sunrise, when it came, was ravishing, like filagree lace edging the cloud cover before rushing further to flood us with celestial light.

Just as remarkable to me was the shadow Mauna Kea projected onto the atmosphere in the opposite direction, not far from the southern coast of Maui, which was visible in the distance Maui, Larkin had told us, began life where Mauna Kea is now, before wandering over the eons to its current location. Set free for a moment from the realities of parental time, I marveled at the slowness of geological time.

Of course, I had promised Agnes that she’d get to see a volcano too, so the hotel had also arranged a tour for us with Paradise Helicopters. As we

You get there by going north on Kuhio Highway from Kapaa, and turning left onto Kealia Road. Keep right past the closed post office, and head uphill on the paved road through bougainvillea; the road becomes pothole paved. Pass pastures on the left and cane fields on the right and look for the line of Norfolk pines up and to your left, which mark Spalding Monument.

The SPALDING STROLL is down the dirt drive fringed by tall Norfolk pines that lead away from the palmencircled monument.

You get some bluewater looks of the Kapaa coast and closeup views of a moist woodland valley.

This hike will delight bird watchers. In about a mile, where a road veers to the right, the path you’re on starts to drop steeply. The road continues down to a valley inland from Kealia, but you’ll probably want to turn around.

WAIPAHEE FALLS, once a renowned tourist attraction, has been fenced off and closed for years due to flash flood and other hazards. Still, the walk to KANEHA RESERVOIR, near the falls, is beautiful, taking you through scenery evoking the green hills of Africa.

The trailhead for the falls is down Kealia Road. As you face the gate at Spalding Monument, go .5-mile to your right and look on your left for a Kealia Hunter Checking Station, Unit C mailbox.

Park there. At first you will get only occasional glimpses of the Anahola Mountains on your right. At .3-mile, veer left when you have a choice, and at 1 mile also go left as you pass a paved airstrip on your right. Beyond the airstrip, views open up, and in another .25-mile you reach the road that comes in from the locked.

TRAVEL TIPS Agricultural Inspection The US Dept. of Agriculture says, "American agriculture is under constant threat of attack from countless enemies. These enemies are often microscopic and include plant pests and disease."

To prevent the unknowing transmission of these hitchhikers, all passenger baggage moving from Hawaii to the US mainland is subject to predeparture inspection at the airport. They ask that you be prepared to open and close your own bags. All agricultural items being mailed must be inspected prior to being taken to the post office.

You must notify the inspector if you have any agricultural items with you.

Purchasing items from nurseries and fruit sellers that are qualified to certify them for you takes the worry out of the process. They will package 18

and stamp anything you wish to take that is on the "Permitted" list.

Nothing makes everyone back home as happy as fresh Hawaiian fruit, or lovely orchids and tropical flowers.

Agricultural items PERMITTED into the mainland after passing inspection:

Beach Sand Coconuts Cooked foods Dried seeds Dried decorative arrangements Fresh flowers (except gardenia, jade vine, and mauna loa) "Irish" or white potatoes Pineapples Plants and cuttings must be certified to be free of pests by the HI Dept. of Agriculture Seashells (except land snail shells) Papayas require treatments before shipment to the mainland.

Commercially canned and throughly cooked foods are permitted.

Agricultural items NOT PERMITTED into the Mainland: Berries (including coffee berries and sea grapes) Cactus plants or parts Cotton and cotton bolls Fresh flowers of gardenia, jade vine, and mauna loa Kikania and pandanus Live insects and snails Plants in soil Seeds with pulp and fresh seed pods Soil Sugarcane Swamp cabbage (unchoy) Sweet potato (raw) Submit your Travel Tips to TNT@ bestplaceshawaii.com.

drove through the lava fields toward the airport, Agnes’s existential questions took a more personal turn: “Papa, why, in our family, aren’t there three children? Why are your parents aliveand mama’s aren’t?

To my relief, we were soon aboard the helicopter with our our affable pilot, Keith Darby, who informed us and our fellow riders, also Four Seasons guests, that he would do his best to “entice us out of the Garden of Eden.” He kept up a steady patter about the magnificent sights below us, from the perfect white-sand beach where Captain Cook met his end to the green, mist-enshrouded coast above Hilo, once the site of an ill-fated railroad. Rex was airsick, and whined until he fell asleep. Agnes was most excited about asking me questions over her headset, until she too fell asleep.

We circled the black-and-umber crater of Klauea a few times, trying to see in, but the view was obscured by a giant puff of steam and what Darby called the storm’s “residual gunk.” “Not to rub it in,” he said later, when he put down the helicopter for a quick picnic on a secluded mountaintop, “but the lava flow was amazing until August.” Of course, the disappearance of the lava has in many ways been good news for the Big Island, which was able to reopen Volcanoes National Park a few weeks after we visited (now sans lava). Agnes told me afterward that she hadn’t seen the volcano, but it was okay, because she’d had fun in the helicopter. And while we didn’t get to see lava — or do other things, like snorkel, that we’ll do the next time — it was okay, because we’d had fun in Hawaii.

One morning as we enjoyed the incredible breakfast buffet at Ulu.
