This collective is made up of Swiss architect Jeremy Morris (Geneva, 1996), whose work has focused on building with soil, a material he advocates as a sustainable alternative to concrete, and Luca Carlisle (Geneva, 1997), a Portuguese-Swiss architect who integrates ecological design into all his projects.

Set in the tranquil surroundings of the CAM’s new garden, the installation is surrounded by its native flora, establishing visual connections between nature and the ecological materials at the heart of their work.

The gardens and their surroundings play a crucial role in showcasing biomaterials, providing visitors with a deep understanding of the interaction between ecosystems and materials.

At the heart of their project is a reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese azulejos – iconic cultural symbols – made from sustainable materials such as oyster shells and seaweed. These tiles preserve the essence of traditional azulejos while reflecting a commitment to regenerative practices  that are urgently needed in the construction industry.

This work was developed under the residency ‘Radical Waters–Concrete Matters’ which took place at BioLAB Lisbon and Marvila Neighborhood in Lisbon, under the European Project ‘Bauhaus of the Seas Sails’, in partnership with the Lisbon Municipality and Instituto Superior Técnico (ITI). A project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme.
