Negotiating Boundaries | Studio Lotek

Studio Lotek explores how architecture can integrate marine life into design. Central to this is the use of Seacrete, a new innovative material made from shells and seaweed. Embracing natural processes such as erosion creates architectural structures that combine human functions with habitats for marine biodiversity. The project includes materials research and experiments in saltwater basins by NIOZ, the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. The process will be documented through photos, videos and a publication. Negotiating Boundaries offers a sustainable alternative to conventional building materials and contributes to solutions for sea level rise and coastal erosion.
