The project explores new and innovative materials, such a fiberglass concrete, not only for building more organic design and aesthetic, significantly lighter and higher in tensile strength, but also as an opportunity the buildings to become more sustainable. For example, the glass elements in the concrete usually are from reclaimed or recycled materials, and the cement mix includes fly ash, silica and which are also sustainable materials, with no adverse effect on the environment.
