Building Commons is a process of developing a material prototype that transforms waste seashells from restaurants into a building material without cement or resin.
Rooted in years of work at the CLIMAVORE Station in Skye and Raasay reimagining transitions from intensive aquaculture, the project weaves material innovation with oral histories and land struggles through hands-on workshops and multigenerational, multispecies exchanges.
The goal is to create opportunities for the material to support common good funds and strengthen coastal ecologies.
