Organic architecture 「Excellence Prize」
The aggregation of small emptied porcelain hulls creates a protective cavity. It is inspired by alveolar constructions insects build to keep safe their food, their eggs or their larvas. These small agglutinated cells form a compact, light and solid superstructure. The multiplication of small units becomes a protean community.
