3D printing is solving a major urban crisis 🏙️ 🪴
We visited Urban Reef three years ago when we were in Rotterdam, and we’re incredibly happy to see how much they’ve grown!
Urban Reef creates living infrastructure that buffers rainwater, cools cities, and restores biodiversity, all using natural ceramics shaped by nature’s algorithms.
What starts as a 3D printed structure becomes a functioning ecosystem over time. Real solutions that integrate with existing infrastructure and actually improve as they age.
They’re now scaling up with industrial printers and low-carbon materials to deploy this at an architectural scale.
Cities can be home to more than just humans.
