Utilizing industrial by-products and marine waste to create a virtuous cycle in the ecosystem Air Folly is quintessential recycled architecture. Reinterpreting polytunnels, Air Folly creates an architectural structure made of biodegradable seaweed-based vinyl. Algae film, made from seaweed stalks, is easily absorbed into the soil or marine ecosystem at the end of its useful life, hence making it a potential alternative to agricultural plastic waste. In addition, by creating an air layer between the tissues, it is a durable structure that provides for product development and spatial expansion.

Air Folly’s modular structure, easily assembled, disassembled, and moved, is important from a recycling perspective. As an expansion of BARE’s on-going experiments with fluid structures reflecting contemporary life, Air Folly allows materials to be connected to other uses instead of being thrown away.

Air Folly’s production, use, and decomposition process facilitates a new life cycle of seaweed plastic: from sea and soil to urban spaces, and then back to land and water.
