This work considers material production processes that precede the relentless progression of current global urbanization phenomena as significant contributors to environmental crises which may continue to unchain ecological debasement across the Earth’s urbanscapes.
The project develops through speculating on environmentally restorative technology’s cyclical integration with infrastructural operations leading to regenerative urban development. It explores the implementation of closed loop algae-based water filtration systems for agricultural production, in conjunction with carbon-sink material fabrication strategies, such as the creation of algae biomass-derived carbon fibre reinforced polymers, as methods to catalyze the future ecologically resilient urban territories of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, and beyond.
