Barkcloth Textile from Uganda can Change the Future of Textiles

Barkcloth Textile from Uganda can Change the Future of Textiles

Bark cloth is made from the inner bark of the mutuba tree, a type of ficus. Ugandans have been wearing the cloth for over 600 years and the fabric making has been around before woven fabrics were created. What makes the fabric most interesting to a designer is the opportunity to be used as a sustainable alternative. The fabrics are made from tree bark, which can be with proper care harvested for decades from the same tree without harming the environment. I also love that textile has a nature texture and roughness. It makes the fabric beautiful in its own way. Scroll down to see a video on how the fabric is made and more images:

"BACOC FARM" BY REYES RÍOS + LARRAÍN IN MEXICO

"Haccoc Farm", originally constructed between 1880 and 1910 for the production of henequen fiber in Yucatan, México. After years of production the property became severely detoriated to the point only stones of masonry were standing. Reyes Rios and Larrain reconstruction concept was to conserve and consolidate the history of the space without recycling it as built space. The architects decided to work with the remains of the building giving it an isolated object-space, surrounded by water gardens and the new construction that contains it. The design is meant to work like an open hall that operates like a “hinge” that combines the new with the old construction.

"Polo Stables" featuring a Grass Roof for Horses to Roam

Okay, so this isn't a home- I initially thought it was, but I can imagine this building being put into a home design. This is the stables for polo star Nacho Figueras on the flatlands of La Pampa near General Rodríguez, a city within the capital of Argentina. The project is built mainly of concrete and hardwoods, chosen for beauty and low maintenance. What I find most intriguing is the way the roof melds in to the landscape. The roof is sloped and merges into the landscape, making it easy for the horses to roam between the roof and the ground floor.  Via:https://www.dezeen.com/2017/08/31/figueras-polo-stables-grassy-roof-horses-concrete-architecture-buenos-aires-argentina/
