I met curator Pascal Leboucq (Company New Heroes / Biobased Creations) during Dutch Design Week 2019. He had the renowned Mycelium Pavilion on display while I was exhibiting the Biomaterials Archive. We taught Scenography students at Amsterdam University of the Arts, and then asked me to join The Exploded View as a knowledge partner, showcased at Dutch Design Week and set at the Circular Embassy.

The bio-based architectural model buildings unveiled new biomaterials developed by big brands, well-known designer-makers, and some of my Design Academy Eindhoven students and guest tutors' works: Sebastian Guzman Olmos, student, with a deep beet. Bio MDF wall, Diana Milea, student, with a homegrown kombucha wall, Carolyn Raff, guest tutor, with a bioplastic sequins wall, Basse Stittgen, guest tutor, with a crushed eggshells floor.
