The Hybrid Towers-A Synthetic Nature

"A contrast between real chalk and synthetic algae nature"

The eco-critic Timothy Morton advocates for humans' interconnectedness with nature. He suggests new thinking should be adopted to undermine long held beliefs about the separation of humanity and nature. He writes:Nature is a sort of anthropocentrically scaled concept.It might be a disaster.A goal of the Geological Research Center is to create HYBRIDS,to develop architectural interventions that coincide with,and support the interconnectedness of the social and ecological systems located among the cliffs. We will create a SEDIMENTARY ARCHITECTURE that variably engages the cliffs and the processes that bore them, proposing structures that integrate literally within them. The architectural hybrids are defined as objects, landscapes, and infrastructure. It is a physical intervention that generates a series of architectural space.The architectural intervention integrates inseparably into the landscape with using fusion, transformation,reconfiguration mechanisms. It acknowledges the natural systems that form its context—the architectural object becomes apart of the natural system,making it synthetic and incorporating its rules and mechanisms of functioning.This is a Nature-Inspired Design.We create "A Synthetic Nature". The site (MØNS KLINT)is one of the oldest fossil-rich cliffs in Denmark. The “site” contains the remains of

shells from millions of microscopic creatures known as coccolithophores, a type of algae. We used different local experimental materials, algae, shell, salt, and seaweed, to create 3 different topic towers with the experimental building technique-mix with concrete to make complex forms. The project is environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout the entire lifecycle, minimizing negative impacts while promoting human well-being.It uses sustainable,eco-friendly, recycled, and ethically sourced materials in construction.
