The methodology builds on four interconnected pillars: 1) Participatory co-creation and transdisciplinary design integrating citizens, designers, and industry under the NEB principles of Together, Sustainable, and Beautiful; 2)Experimental development and validation of innovative bio-fabricated materials through iterative testing of mechanical, thermal, acoustic, fire, and durability performance; 3) Integrated sustainability, circularity, and aesthetic assessment using LCSA, SSbD criteria, and societal perception analysis; and 4) Feasibility of mass-scale production through AI-assisted, robotic foaming, and BIM-integrated manufacturing for industrial replication. The 4 public demonstrations link laboratory validation (TRL5) with citizen engagement, sensory evaluation, and design dialogue, fostering cultural transformation and market readiness. By uniting science, design, and community, Re-Growth establishes a replicable framework for bio-fabricated construction materials, advancing Europe’s transition toward circular, inclusive, and beautiful built environments in line with the Green Deal and NEB principles.
