MATERIAL WORLD

2021

With the refurbishment of Hafod-Morfa Copperworks in Swansea, the open event needs to attract users to site, to engage tourists and local visitors. As this is a small heritage site built in the industrial revolution juxtaposing the architecture with natural forms would be striking.
This inquiry explores biophilic modular technologies within the landscape. Exploring several stages of the system from principles of pattern to natural growth systems.
Investigating the viability of growing pattern onto the landscape. With the application of natural materials and seedlings. I propose a system of modular biodegradable floor tiles to cover the surface of the earth that will eventually give nutrients back to the soil once degraded.
