Study Architecture

Author(s): Marcus Farr
In “Material Nature: An opportunistic paradigm of architecture & landscape ecology”, the influences of shipping industry waste, small scale coastal erosion and natural growth become the vehicle for architectural speculation. It leverages the material waste gathered from industry and creates a new material trajectory based upon need and the aesthetic of ecology. Material Nature is a series of architectural pavilions made from a mixture of residual, off-cast materials designed specifically to be weatherized. Its design is intended to provide a useful architectural community amenity in an area of high recreational activity, while simultaneously realizing a potential for architecture to be born from waste, and to return to nature without providing further waste.
