ACTIVITIES




DUSTS WALKS

Since 2021, our goal has been to change the perception of dusts from nuisance to valuable matter for understanding and engaging with the urban environment. In public walks, we collect stories about the origins of dusts and materialise those around us with the help of the Dusts Catchers.

We welcome opportunities for collaboration! Invite us to host DUSTS WALKS near you.

AIR ATLAS

During the DUSTS WALKS around the world, we have collected 
various Dusts Catchers that represent unique fingerprints of breathable air. With each new Dusts Catcher, Air Atlas continues to grow. 

Do you have a Dust Catcher? 
If so, send it to us, and it will be added to the map.

JOURNAL




EPIDERMITECTURE

What happens when we question what the outside of a building needs to look like and why? And how might this deepen our understanding of what grows on the surface? 
This essay examines the microbial layer on architectural facades to address the influences of our interaction with and perception of the urban environment.
