The project investigates the use of digital tools and engineered textiles for marine life restoration with a novel, customizable and cost-effective implementation strategy. Using fabric formwork for mineral accretion and micro-fragmentation, self-growing entities revive polluted urban areas where several species have been lost, engaging the inhabitants and shaping our environment for the better.
