Uterine Spaces is a bio-architectural project exploring multispecies coexistence through spaces grown from kombucha biomaterial (SCOBY) and bioplastic fabric. Inspired by the nurturing and transformative qualities of the uterus, it reframes architecture as a living interface shaped by fermentation, decay, and care, challenging anthropocentric design models. Translated into a human-scale installation, the work invites visitors to inhabit or traverse a visceral, darkened environment that foregrounds co-habitation, transition, and embodied ecological awareness.

We Will Design 2026 — HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
