A FiF research project under the leadership of Professors Ariel Auslender (Architecture), Markus Biesalski (Chemistry) and Samuel Schabel (Mechanical Engineering) had done research on this topic within the framework of the interdisciplinary research funding initiative under the title "Bi-compatible paper materials – functional, fully bio-compatible paper materials for aesthetic solutions in architecture“ 2012-2015 and in doing so laid the foundation for new interdisciplinary collaborations at TU Darmstadt and also beyond Darmstadt..

This FiF project became a large-scale research project within the LOEWE initiative of the state of Hesse in the following years. „BAMP! Building with paper“.

In this conversation with the FiF Podcast, Ariel Auslender, Ulrich Knaack and Samuel Schabel give insights behind the scenes and reflect about the difficulties on their way to success. They also provide an outlook on the dynamics that will carry this topic into the future.
