These locally sourced tiles will allow to reduce the landfill congestion and the extraction of resources needed for the production of new ceramics.

Symbiotic Spaces Collective is a transdisciplinary project to protect and increase urban wildlife, using open source 3D printing technology and local materials, particularly clay. SSC structures are designed for a broad variety of species, including water animals, small mammals, insects and birds. Their forms are inspired by observation of non-human architecture in the wild. This work is motivated by concerns about biodiversity and the relationship humans entertain with the creatures that keep our ecosystems alive.
