About

YTU and Yildiz Teknopark hosts advanced biomaterials and mechanical-testing laboratories, plus a 1 600 m² façade mock-up facility linked to an occupied campus building. We seek to join a consortium as work-package or pilot lead, providing: (i) rapid prototyping of mycelium, alginate or cellulose-based panels; (ii) seismic and high-humidity performance assessment; (iii) user-centric monitoring of indoor comfort and aesthetic acceptance. Our living-lab neighbourhood will showcase façade elements on two retrofitted social facilities, capturing real-world durability data. We welcome biotech startups, material scientists, architects and LCA experts who can push TRL advancement and certification pathways towards market entry.
