Process-driven material
Inspired by loofah concrete, this material replaces the cementitious binder with an animal-based material. Lime, produced from kiln-fired oysters, is mixed with sand and water and poured over the loofah sponge. The material is lighter, but also more brittle than its cement-based equivalent.
