Verdant For Humans 

How can digital fabrication enable the integration of natural elements in living spaces?

​

We spend most of our time inside buildings. In an urban world of technology and industrialization, connection to mother earth is lost. 
“Verdant for Humans” creates a new relationship between nature and the built environment to enable architecture to improve our lifestyles through biophilic design. 

Verdant is a digital platform that allows the architect to create unique green installations. Through the new production technique (3D printing) combines a traditional material (ceramic) with the natural life (moss). 
This project improves the contact with natural elements indoors by creating a new type of coating for the structure and the surfaces.

My project "Verdant" was nominated for the "Master Förderpreis 2020" and is published in:
