I was part of the Making Team for The Green Charcoal Project, where we explored innovative materials and surface treatments to develop bio-bricks. The overarching goal was to design a biodegradable, lightweight building system that could support living ecosystems; encouraging the growth of plants and habitats for insects on its surface. My specific focus within the project was material research and prototyping, through which we developed an organic wall system that embodied these ecological and architectural ambitions.
