SHAPING MATTER(S)

Sheep's wool, seaweed, PET bottles, jeans, trees, jute, linseed, fungi ... Sustainable building materials to build houses with and Shaping Matter(s).

From individual space to collective space. From nolimaps to zoning maps. The children designed their sustainable living environment together. Learning from their amazing solutions and visual language, I created an ever-changing map from sustainable building materials that children can adapt to upcoming challenges. The coming months, the map will travel around Europe for more children to imagine their sustainable living environment.
