The organic concrete is a material developed by the Lisbon-based architects E-studio.
This innovative material comes after a series of projects in which the distinction between natural and artificial materials has become increasingly questionable. As a genetic engineering created a new material, developed to reconcile the artificial plant and a single element.
Taking advantage of the ability to retain moisture of the concrete, the material acts as a cell, where water is released during dry periods.
Applied to the concrete surface to obtain organic living permeable surfaces, restoring a natural component of the urban public spaces and responding to the lack of permeability of soils, a perennial problem in urban management of the contemporary city.
The organic concrete, a material developed by e-studio, was awarded one of the Organic Design Awards, in its 2007 edition.
After being patented in 2005, the Organic Concrete is currently developing a partnership with the Group AMOP.
