Blue Ceramics: Co-designing Morphing Ceramics for Seagrass Meadow Restoration

Seagrass meadows are twice as effective as forests at capturing and storing carbon, but human activities have caused them to gradually disappear over the last few decades. We take a nature-centered design approach on contextual inquiry and collaborative designs methods to consolidate knowledge from marine and material sciences to industrial design. This pictorial documents a dialogue between designers and scientists to co-create an ecological intervention using digital fabrication to manufacture morphing ceramics for seagrass meadow restoration.
