Symbiosis in Landfill

Speculative Design, 3D animation (Unity)

In this dystopian reality triggered by the landfill crisis, our atmosphere is now filled with harmful methane, turning it into a toxic environment. To adapt and survive in this polluted air, we've devised a inter-species living system between human and plants. Inside our living spaces, we've created a micro-biosphere where humans and plants coexist symbiotically. Humans depend on plants for clean oxygen, while plants thrive on the CO2 we produce. Stepping outside our biosphere requires wearing oxygen-supplying devices, and upon return, we bring back CO2 to nourish the plants. This transformation means that 70% of our living space is now occupied by plants, a significant departure from the concrete-dominated environments of the past.

This distinctive way of living not only changes the environment around us but also revolutionizes our connection with plants. Nurturing the plants in our micro-biosphere becomes crucial, offering a dehumanizing perspective on the inter-species kinship between humans and plants.
