Cradle to Cradle
But first of all what “Cradle To Cradle” is in Sustainable design? “Cradle to Cradle” ensure that when a material life comes to an end , the material does not only harm the ecosystem but “nurture” the soil.
By applying the Cradle to Cradle principle to design we will ensure that all materials which are susceptible of becoming “biological nutrients”
Then outsourcing materials become paramount.
All store elements hidden from plain sight are not part of the “concept” se we could freely make decisions on them, as there will be no requirements for them to achieve a certain aesthetic.
Wood or wood-based materials are a good choice for that “hidden construction”
Notes:
The Cradle to Cradle definition for the Biological Cycle in manufacturing is a system of producing products of consumption from organic materials that will be used then recycled via a natural decomposition process such as biodegradation, composting, or nutrient extraction.
