CARACARA Internship
CaraCara is a design studio specializing in collaboration with local businesses to recycle and repurpose biological waste into biomaterials. These materials range from durable, natural composites made from pine needles, orange peels, and other organic residues.
Beyond material development, the studio also explores the use of living organisms in design. Examples include SCOBY, a cellulose-based biofilm produced through fermentation and used to create flexible, leather-like materials, and mycelium, the fungal network that forms dense structures which,
once dried, result in a rigid,
wood-like material.
