Presented in the gardens of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/architecture-in-portugal\/\">Lisbon\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> Gulbenkian Center of Modern Art, the project reinterprets the city\u2019s traditional azulejos using <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/ceramics\/\">tiles<\/a><\/strong> produced from oyster shells and seaweed collected from the Tagus River, the Sado Estuary, and local food systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The installation is composed of three sculptural elements, a modular kitchen, a bench, and a linear table, clad in the biomaterial tiles. These tiles are designed to be biodegradable, dissolving back into natural systems as part of a circular design approach. Their development emphasizes the ecological value of oysters, which serve as natural filters, purifying up to 200 liters of water daily, stabilizing coastlines, and supporting marine biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>the \u2018line,\u2019 represents the invisible bio pigments around the banks of the river Tagus | all images courtesy of Fahrenheit 180\u00ba<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Fahrenheit 180\u00ba explores Geometries and Biomaterial Tiles<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The material palette reflects the diverse colors of the Tagus and its banks, developed through a collaboration with PhD student Mariana Sim\u00f5es. Hues range from earthy oxides and poppy seed tones to the pinks of microalgae, expanding the chromatic possibilities of tile production beyond conventional blue-and-white traditions. Oyster shells, of which 60,000 tons are produced annually in Portugal, are sourced from farms and restaurants. After sterilization through heat and UV treatment, the shells are ground into powders of varying aggregate sizes, then bound with seaweed material to form the tiles.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The sculptural forms, referred to as \u2018creepy crawlers,\u2019 rest within the museum gardens with angular, irregular legs that suggest movements from an underwater landscape. Their geometries favor organic distortion over strict rationality, linking ecological storytelling with spatial experimentation. From the Tagus to the Tile extends <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fahrenheit-180.com\/\">Studio<\/a><\/strong> Fahrenheit 180\u00ba\u2019s research into regenerative practices that challenge extractive material systems. By revisiting the legacy of oyster farming in the Tagus estuary and connecting it with contemporary design, the project advocates for bioregional thinking and material approaches rooted in local ecological processes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>wasted shrimp shell acting here as bio pigments<\/p>\n<p>3 modules are part of a deconstructed kitchen, with a gas hob and two cutting counter tops<\/p>\n<p>Oyster Sink module<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the project explores regenerative biomaterials in architectural surfaces<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>Oyster Sink module detail<\/p>\n<p>the oyster sink in action, with a closed filtering system, the water is part of a continuous loop where the plants act as natural filters<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>three sculptural elements include a kitchen, a bench, and a table<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>samples of various prototypes<\/p>\n<p>ingredients: Oysters, Mussels, Algae, Pin resin<\/p>\n<p>tile sizes: from 14\u00d714 to 10\u00d710, ingredients: Oysters, Algae, Bio pigments<\/p>\n<p>marble tiles, representing different water states of the Tagus Estuary<\/p>\n<p>the \u2018egg\u2019 has been pigmented with natural micro-algae from the salt marshes of Samoucou in Lisbon<\/p>\n<p>\u2018crassostrea angulata\u2019 is the real name of the oyster species native to Portugal<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong> \u2018From the Tagus to the Tile\u2019 \u2013 \u2018A flor do azulejo a cor do Tejo\u2019<br \/>\n<strong>designer:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fahrenheit-180.com\/\">Fahrenheit 180\u00ba<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/Fahrenheit_180\">@Fahrenheit_180<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>lead designers:<\/strong> Jeremy Morris, Luca Carlisle<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\">DIY submissions<\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/design\/biomaterial-tiles-fahrenheit-180-lisbon-azulejos-oyster-shells-seaweed-08-28-2025\/\">biomaterial tiles by fahrenheit 180 reimagine lisbon\u2019s azulejos with oyster shells and seaweed<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Tagus to the Tile: BioMaterials Reinterpreting Azulejos \u00a0 Fahrenheit 180\u00ba, a design collective founded by Jeremy Morris and Luca Carlisle, develops From the Tagus to the Tile, an installation exploring the potential of &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[142],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.7 -
