This year, EnerJ-meeting innovates and highlights the leading architects and engineers.

 

Maud Caubet architects agency will present the Racine project through the unique exhibition “Architects and Engineering 2050”!

 

In the heart of the 12th arrondissement of Paris, the Racine Tower project transforms the former headquarters of the Office National des Forêts (ONF) and will offer, by mid-2024, a new life to this iconic building from the 1970s. This building, with a singular appearance, has its facade completely renovated and its roof is topped with a panoramic glass greenhouse, as an extension towards the sky.

 

A project perfectly anchored in its neighbourhood, working with what is already there.

[🌱🥭 BONI.D] Give a new life to wasted mangoes with Fruitleather Rotterdam!

With their degree in spatial design, designers Koen Meerkerk and Hugo de Boon use their talents to serve a cause close to their hearts by launching Fruitleather Rotterdam, an initiative that offers an innovative solution to food waste. Transforming mango fibers into vegan leather, the company offers an ecological alternative to the traditional leather industry.

 

Raising awareness about food waste, Fruitleather Rotterdam targets the 45% of fruits destined for consumption that are discarded annually. At the same time, the leather industry, generating 10% of all global carbon emissions, faces the issues of animal slaughter and material cleaning processes.

 

Fruitleather Rotterdam’s innovative approach considers fruit waste as a valuable raw material, resulting in a versatile material used in the production of shoes, fashion accessories, furnishings, and more.

 

🍃 Let’s fight food waste and give a second life to forgotten mangoes!

 

Thank you for this beautiful initiative!
