Extractions for Tomorrow Part 2 Project 2022 Aditi Shatye Columbia University | USA Extractions for Tomorrow is a two-pronged production ecosystem proposal that promotes light extractive and regenerative methods in production in order to restore old economies, as well as create new economic opportunities within the Sub Saharan African region.This project looks at Nigeria as a microcosm of the future African condition of rapid urbanization and proposes the introduction of bioDune sand bricks to sustainably support the construction of the growing urban fabric amid climate change & desertification uncertainty.The past decade has seen the rise of Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation as a new biological process that uses enzymatic reactions of bacteria with urea to ‘grow’ bricks through the process of calcification. Building off this research, the project proposes the use of desert dune sand along with human urine, and bacteria in a zero waste, heat free process to produce outputs of a new type of ‘bio-brick’.The project re-imagines agencies like the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) that are partnered with the Green Wall Initiative, to expand their portfolio to assist local communities and governments to sustainably extract desert sand for production whilst also providing guidance to restore and manage fragile ecosystems through the transferal of knowledge.
