OUSE FEN NATURE RESERVE

Kryvo - To hide

Design Concrete 2023 is a National Student Competition which encourages students to explore the benefits of designing sustainably with concrete. I was privileged to be part of this competition with my team. We approached this projects with the aim to enjoy the reserves wildlife and encounter several experiences throughout the site. Three interventions, birdwatch, resting stop, and observation will be plotted across the reserve so visitors can experience multiple areas of the nature reserve.

Using green concrete as our primary building material will help us achieve our goals of preserving the environment and addressing the issue of concrete sustainability. Choosing bio concrete allowes biodiversity and different life forms to exist and thrive on the site.
