An exploration of root structures and material study 70% of the world’s population lives along coastlines and rivers, out of which, thousands of people get affected yearly due to erosion. However, our marine ecosystems such as mangroves and soils have the capability of storing large amounts of CO2 and provide a barrier amongst erosion. CAUSES … Read more
Cloud Based Remote Sensing, Optimization and Agent Based Simulation Floods that were once rare are now happening more often. In Valencia, Spain, a flood expected only once every 500 to 1,000 years has happened three times in the last few decades, with the most recent in October 2024 killing over 230 people and causing €16 … Read more
The plastic crisis has reached staggering proportions. If all the plastic waste on Earth were laid out, it would be enough to cover the entire surface of Argentina ankle-deep. Every year, we produce 300 million tons of plastic globally. Yet only 10% remains in use, while more than 80% is discarded. Of this discarded plastic, … Read more
Bio-Receptive Interfaces is a performative multi-material clay-based system for indoor environments, integrating hydrogel vascularity to host an ecosystem of cryptogams and vascular plants. Fusing biological intelligence with embedded sensors and AI, it sustains a prolonged hydration cycle, purifies air, sequesters carbon, and reintroduces ecological presence into synthetic indoor worlds—transforming sealed spaces into living, responsive, multi-species … Read more
This project reclaims abandoned silos in Rio de Janeiro as neighborhood-scale infrastructures for ecological justice. It builds a circular system where waste is not only recycled, but revalued through community collaboration. Organic and material waste become part of urban greening and pollination strategies, empowering catadores and youth as co-creators. Through reuse, education, and biodiversity enhancement, … Read more

Soluciones sostenibles para contaminación y escasez hídrica en Villa Carlos Paz. ¿Cómo pueden las Soluciones Basadas en la Naturaleza, desde un enfoque de diálogo entre lo preexistente y lo propuesto, contribuir a mitigar simultáneamente la escasez y la contaminación hídrica en Villa Carlos Paz, sin modificar los cursos y cuencas hídricas naturales existentes y promoviendo … Read more
AQUA.NEST: An AI-Powered Decision Support Toolbox for Adaptive Urban Design Using Nature-Based Solutions in Flood-Exposed Coastal Cities Coastal urban flooding is emerging as one of the most urgent climate challenges of our time. Without strong adaptation, annual flood damages could reach €930 billion globally by 2050, even with improved infrastructure (OECD, 2020). Rising sea levels and … Read more
“The Amazon rainforest, often called the ‘lungs of the Earth,’ is rapidly disappearing. But this isn’t just an environmental crisis—it’s a geopolitical and economic issue. In the heart of this transformation lies [Mato Grosso], Brazil’s largest soy-producing state. Its key location fuels both economic growth and ecological destruction, leading to tensions over land use, trade policies, and environmental governance.” … Read more
Hacia un modelo territorial para ciudades balnearias La tesis propone explorar el turismo en la Costa Este del Uruguay, con énfasis en las franjas litorales de los departamentos de Canelones y Maldonado. Aquí, el turismo no es entendido únicamente como una actividad económica o cultural, sino como una infraestructura compleja que incide sobre el territorio: … Read more
Construction fractured an ecosystem, and listening began to heal it The Echoes We Buried is a speculative eco-fiction set in a fractured Barcelona, where construction noise disrupts not just human life but the deep, vibrating language of ecosystems. As species falter and signals blur, one person begins to listen—to the pressure, the silence, the unraveling. … Read more
A coracle is a small, lightweight, round or oval boat traditionally made with a woven frame of wood or wicker and covered with animal hide or waterproof fabric. It’s designed to be easily carried and is mainly used in parts of the UK, for fishing or transport on rivers. Master Plan Firstly, we looked the … Read more
This project introduces an environmental sculpture, up to 1.5 meters tall, placed in the garden of Ballina Methodist Church in Ballina, Ireland. The column acts as a multifunctional architectural element supporting local biodiversity—attracting insects, bees, butterflies, and small birds—while blending harmoniously into the public landscape. Constructed from a geopolymer made with crushed seashells and biochar, … Read more
