Lignum Orbis (Resegva Prenn) Part 1 Project 2025 Giles Howe Falmouth University Falmouth | UK The Institute for Innovation in Timber Technologies is a higher education facility dedicated to the research into timber technology and the fabrication and testing of timber satellites. It is an architectural and technological response to the inherent unsustainable practices of the space industry. It addresses the growing problem of space debris and satellite overcrowding in low Earth orbit by proposing timber as a regenerative, biodegradable alternative to conventional materials.The institute forms part of a broader campus masterplan that embodies a closed-loop system, eliminating waste through on-site cultivation, harvesting, and processing of timber. The project explores the potential of overlooked timber waste, such as tree forks and innovation in energy generation. Timber is notable for its ability to withstand warping and decay in the vacuum of space and burns up cleanly upon re-entry.Spatially the proposal invites interaction and collaboration between the academic, industrial and public communities. The intention is also to develop skills in the local economy, taking a regenerative approach to the application of innovation for space but also for the built environment and natural resources.
