Development of a Sustainable Material from Date Palm Wood Chips
This project explores the potential of agricultural waste from date palm trees as a natural, locally sourced material. It examines how pruned branches and fronds can be transformed into a meaningful design resource.
This project explores the potential of agricultural waste from date palm trees as a natural, locally sourced material. It examines how pruned branches and fronds can be transformed into a meaningful design resource.
The material is created from ground date palm wood chips mixed with local clay, forming a dense, moldable blend. The process focused on achieving strength, durability, and insulation qualities using fully organic, biodegradable components that dry naturally in air.
The material’s properties were demonstrated through three-dimensional tiles, serving as an applied study.
The project functions as a material proposal, offering a direction for further exploration rather than a finalized solution.
