PANTAREI

digital based bio-waste derived meta-PANels Towards A REvolutionary building Identity

PANTAREI: a novel triad of digital design, advanced fabrication and bio-waste derived materials.

PANTAREI  provides concrete, attractive, interdisciplinary and tech-oriented solutions for digitalizing the entire life cycle of complex multi-scale bio-derived materials, from the design, to meta-structures realization and assessment stage.

Multi-scale human-centered quality

Buildings are globally responsible for more than 30% of total energy use and 19% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. They wield a colossal and far-reaching impact on the environment, voraciously consuming vast natural resources and spewing out emissions that fuel the relentless advance of global warming.

 

The future of sustainable constructions is represented by the Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) concept, that pertains to a structurally advanced and highly energy-efficient edifice, which, over a defined timeframe, generally a year, generates an equivalent amount of energy as it consumes.

​

To materialize this goal, there is the urgency to overcome an evident mismatch between digital technologies and meta-structures made of novel sustainable materials.​

PANTAREI Vision.

The over-arching aim of PANTAREI is to extend the capabilities of current computational tools for material design, by developing adaptive solutions based on the revolutionary intertwining of virtual physics of failure and non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles  for the bio-waste derived multi-scale meta-structure design and tailored realization  through the entire structure life-cycle with a human-centered perspective 

PANTAREI Network.

PANTAREI Partners.

PANTAREI multi-stakeholder coalition, involving a renowned company working sustainable materials in construction (FANT), an innovative start-up in the field of bio-derived material 3D printing (10XL), and four European universities (POLIMI, UD, UL, TUD) with a decennial experience in bio-inspired digital design and fabrication has the potential to revolutionize the European (EU) construction market, threatened by the burden of improper energy management.
