The bioplastics façade mock‐up was created within the framework of Research Project Bioplastic Façade, a project supported by EFRE (Europäischer Fonds für Regionale Entwicklung/ European Fund for Regional Development). It demonstrates one of the possible architectonic and constructional applications of the bioplastic materials developed in the course of this project. The blueprint is based on a triangular net made up of mesh elements of varying sizes.
