Sea Silt CeramicsConcept
A test façade made from sea sludge ceramics — transforming seven million tonnes of annual dredge waste into architectural tiles. Developed for Bouwurk, a temporary cathedral celebrating circular making and the Frisian community, exhibited at Arcadia 2025 (17 May – 24 August).
Design briefWorking with Humade and partners, the project scaled sea silt ceramics from lab samples to full-size façade tiles. This involved glaze formulation using waste material, production feasibility testing, and developing 3D files and molds for architectural-scale output.
