This project aims to create a localized response to the global problem of textile waste. This brick revitalizes textile waste and transforms it into a new construction material with potential for future landscape applications. It aims to change the perception of sustainability through the modification of economic, ecological, and cultural processes. The final brick is made up of recycled fabric modified with a natural plant-dye, bound together with cement powder.
