Designed Ecology is a designed intervention that interacts biologically with the environment and responds to climate change.

​

Today, we are facing global challenges, including water scarcity, lack of arable soil, desertification, and rapid urbanization. Ultimately, The project addresses a few of these issues by creating a community-centric structure or structures composed of a bio-receptive material that could initiate the process of soil creation from the sand. By examining how soil is created over time to facilitate and accelerate this process, bio-bricks are designed for multi-dimensional tessellations, emphasizing naturally developing organic morphologies and contributing to community creation.
