As the World Architecture Festival draws to a close, we’re proud to have been part of such an inspiring gathering and to sponsor this year’s Student Charrette. Congratulations to the student team from Queen's University Belfast on their innovative winning project, Staging Symbiosis: Seaweed+ The winning team’s project focuses on Rathlin Island, situated six miles off Northern Ireland’s coast and home to 141 people, 653 sheep and 250,000 seabirds. The proposal imagines a sustainable future for the island, utilising seaweed—one of Rathlin’s most abundant natural resources. Their design envisions a structure combining timber frame construction with “kelpcrete,” a unique, load-bearing material created from double-layered seaweed. #WAF24 #INSIDE24 #WAFStudentCharrette Monique Suksmaningsih Darmono Stuart Rough Brahmono Aji Ben Somner Ed Baker
