Context: Bio-ID MArch, 2024
Circular economy, bone waste | Fertilizing material system | 
Lifecycle analysis + weathering
Life-cycle of material in urban application
Degredation occurs overtime, enriching context, supporting urban greening,
bio-receptivity, and community participation
Cattle bone, waste sourced from Hackney butchershop
Crushed and used as aggregate in material
Supplying strength and nutrients
Phosphorus fertilization within planter system
Diagram: relationship between form, material, PSM, and soil
1:4 model (one piece = 30cm)
Material: novel fertilizing bone-concrete
Geometry allows for passive heating and cooling of planter system
Phosphorus solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) cultivation 
10cm petri dish - grown in wet-lab
cultivated for application within material, 
making phosphorus within the bone available for plant uptake.
