AquaShellter
A shelter for aquatic life near airports
AquaShellter is a product designed to improve the environment for aquatic life near airports. Aircraft takeoffs and landings produce significant noise and release heavy metals into the atmosphere. Made from oyster shell powder, AquaShellter can absorb heavy metals in water. Inspired by recurring natural structures, its exterior features a fractal pattern that helps absorb noise. Additionally, we created VR educational content for children, allowing them to explore aquatic life near airports. In the game, finding AquaShellter provides instructions on how to create it.
