Material Ecologies Design Lab x Sydney Design Week

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Material Ecologies Design Lab (MEDL) is teaming up with Sydney Design Week to bring the Material Ecologies Design Lab (MEDL) x Sydney Design Week kitchen to Eddy Avenue. MEDL is a lively creative practice and research lab committed to transforming waste, transitioning material systems and designing for a post-petrochemical world.

The Material Ecologies Design Lab (MEDL) x Sydney Design Week kitchen will host designers cooking up a range of sustainable, renewable and bio-based materials on site, provoking conversations about material futures, circularity and the culpability of design. It will showcase designers working with recycled glass, algae, cellulose, mycelium and brewer’s spent grain, and their creative approaches to challenging unsustainable production chains using new technologies.
