Plastiglomerate- New possibilities for communication between nature and man

This project is about new possibilities for communication between nature and man. Design publications and identity through symposium, Expressing ideas with visual and textual content. Create a new platform to establish a dialogue between the designer and the audience. Make graphic design a highly practical and problem-solving process.

Inspired by a special plastic rock formed by marine pollution, plastiglomerate represent the ruins of global industrial trade and consumerism. Plastiglomerate unites the human with the nature; it’s a marker of the human impact on the world. The symposium focuses on marine culture, sustainable materials and explores different design solutions.

The project has set up a material exploration workshop to allow the public to participate in the project and develop their own biomaterials, aiming to improve the awareness of alternative material selection through communication. The process is documented in publications.
