Volvo is 3D printing mangrove-textured tiles to save our oceans - Yanko Design
More than half of Sydney’s shoreline is artificial, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms that keep our oceans healthy. Volvo plans to spurt the growth of these microorganisms by bringing a touch of biomimicry to these artificial seawalls with the Living Seawall project. The Living Seawall is comprised of hexagonal tessellated tiles that sport a complex, interwoven structure that mimic the roots of a mangrove forest.
