Buzz and Blossom

This project explores creation of a shell structure using bricks, providing shelter for solitary bees through specially designed bee bricks and supporting the growth of wild plants through plantation bricks. The design aims to create a habitat that caters to the needs of various animal inhabitants while embracing the impermanence inherent in the cyclic nature of its usage. By supporting pollination and spontaneous vegetation growth, it evolves with seasons and ecological cycles, creating a dynamic ecosystem that enriches both built and natural environments.
