Abstract
The main goal of this research was to develop a new, adaptable and personalized
cork industrial product for environmental performance applications. The project started with
the standard insulation products from Amorim Insulation Industries. Inspired on natural
growth and performance, it found its basis on the observation of the properties and
composition of natural cork, and explored cork anisotropy in a digital form-finding process to
design and fabricate. A full scale prototype was designed and produced by a personalized
parametric definition, using the form-finding processes based on cork anisotropy to program
the physical matter and the digital fabrication for an improved acoustical behavior. The
results obtained contribute to an increasing and more diverse offer of expanded cork
products, within the scope of the natural and sustainable products of Amorim Insulation
Industries.
