A decade of deployed Vertipools, we’ve never seen them looking like these ones in the Mediterranean installed by the Government of Gibraltar in 2020 🤩 Credit GBC. From their excellent ‘Park 2 Park’ documentary series, season 1, episode 5 - Full episode- gbc.gi/tv/programmes/…

Outstanding work from Uni of Plymouth student Adam Ford! Research on retrofit Vertipools mitigating wave overtopping. Poster won best project, dissertation a first! 🎉 Amid sea-level rise & coastal threats, his findings profound. We continue with multifunctional retrofits dev.

I’m happy to share that Julia Ihls and I will be presenting a contribution to the Biodesign Symposium 2024, organised by Biodesign Challenge 👀More about the contents of the symposium and our contribution on lnkd.in/egaf5fNb

The last time we saw this Vertipool was in our studio. Now look! Unbelievable biodiversity and bio-abundance!!! Every finger mark, and every handmade detail now an anchor point for life. From hands to habitat, what better way for a human being to directly connect with nature!

A Sandown model Vertipool next to a Bouldnor/Gib variant model Vertipool in the #gibraltar #mediterranean sea. Mind-blowing biodiversity to the point where the Vertipools are being resculpted into the urban infrastructure by the thick encrustations of thousands of tiny lives! 🤯

1/3 Its #NationalMarineWeek! To take part, the marine team went out to explore the #MarineProtectedAreas around the Isle of Wight. On the coast we found species such as compass jellyfish, strawberry anemones, and thornback ray egg cases.

We recently spent the afternoon with some lovely folks from Natural England NEThamesSolent at our studio in Sandown Bay in the Isle of Wight UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Staff got hands-on with designing & making Nature Inclusive Designs via an Artecology CoCreate session.

We’re packing handmade wildlife habitat ready for exporting from the Isle of Wight Biosphere Reserve. 72 Refugia Tiles will be heading north to South Shields in the next few days. #isleofwight #iwbiosphere #UNESCO #natureinclusivedesign #habitat #wildlife #ecoengineering

Making the seemingly impossible possible is something of a sport at Artecology! Here they show how to build new concrete sea defences with rock pools formed inside the infrastructure. Like all their products, “InVertipools” feature complex 3D structural detail inside and out

Four handmade Bouldnor model Vertipools (upside down) packed and ready for shipping to the mainland, or ‘the north island’ as we like to call it. 😅 This is crafted Intention Habitat, optimised for seashore wildlife, made the Isle of Wight way! #Export #iwbiosphere

A systems thinking mind-map is emerging!! Made with a combo of AI imagery, hand-drawn bits and bobs, and hand-written notes. It’s a work in progress!! #sytemsthinking #relationships #artecologycocreate #cocreate #natureinclusivedesign #communityengagement #ecology
