Most of the Netherlands’ clay resources come from rivers and the sea. The microstructure of river clay gives it the ability to attract and hold fluid molecules. Marine clays, on the other hand, have a high sediment content and, as such, are key to the development of environmentally friendly materials. Based on this research, a new modular construction workflow was created, using marine clay as eco-concrete and river clay to form moulds. This reduces energy consumption and the environmental pollution associated with the manufacture of traditional clay-based material.

This project seeks to criticise architectural and construction methods that serve purely functional purposes. It draws attention to the relationship between the act of dwelling, the space and the occupants. As Heidegger stated, the real housing crisis is not the lack of housing but the need for people to learn the act of dwelling. At the same time, this process also redefines the meaning of building. Buildings should no longer be defined at the moment of completion, instead, the beginning and end of their life should correspond to the beginning and end of the occupant's act of living.
