Architecture, Fabrication, Ecology
Through a collaborative process involving an ABB Robot with a clay-extruding attachment and many nonhuman species, we have devised a modular system of clay pieces that allow for the creation of humid microclimates to promote moss and fungi growth.

Our project, the first prototype of this modular system, was installed at the MacGeorge House on Monday 6th June 2022. It anticipates a future ecology relating to the possibility of a constructed wetland system on its site of installation.
