100% DESIGN LONDON - DalCasa

world). In previous years, visitors at “100% Details” were
accustomed to finding innovative solutions and new
materials in the field of construction, but this year the organizers
decided to tackle the hot subject of pollution.
A string of seminars was used to warn the visitors of the
necessity of changing habits and introducing new rules
in the construction industry, as well as point out the areas
where those postulates have already been applied, such
as Gallions Park in London. Greenpeace also organized a
workshop, and its exhibit section displayed recycled glass
tiles, construction blocks made out of recycled wood
strengthened with cement, straw as a construction material,
new systems of green roofs that integrate isolation
and ventilation solutions, photo-sensitive films that are assembled
to the glass on the windows… And within “100
Details”, special attention was also given to new materials
through a sub-fair called “100 Materials”, where visitors
could get introduced to innovations in the field of materials
through tactile means, as well as visually and through
utilization, and not just through stories.
The necessity of energy preservation and the possibility of
recycling should be just as important a design category
as utilization and aesthetics – that was the unique notion
that integrated all the booths at “100% Design”. Therefore
at “100% Light”, we could see an installation called “Light
Garden” by the Jason Burges Studio that was made out
of a bunch of economical light bulbs and was shaped
like a garden with flowers, which is a project that was supported
by Greenpeace’s campaigning against climate
changes. As far as this concept goes, it must be pointed
out that each of the economical bulbs from the “Light
Garden” has a life span of 16.000 hours, during which
it reduces the emission of carbon monoxide for an astounding
700 kg when compared to regular bulbs. After
all, it is common fact that regular bulbs spend 95% of their
energy in the shape of heat energy, and only 5% as light.
