Description(English)	1.Material Application: From the Ocean, for the Ocean Oyster shell concrete, made from discarded shells and cement in a 1:1 ratio, purifies seawater and supports marine life. Using 1 ton of shells reduces 1 ton of waste and supports 100 sqm of habitat. 2.Modular Self-Assembly Modules self-assemble into complex 3D structures, mimicking coral branching. The three-legged frame is stable and provides hiding spaces for marine life. Different sizes and shapes create ideal habitats.
Description(Native)	该设计利用牡蛎壳废料，将其与水泥以1:1的比例混合，创建人工珊瑚礁。该设计为海洋栖息地恢复提供了一种可持续的解决方案，同时解决环境污染和生物多样性保护的问题。人工鱼礁可以吸引更多种类和数量的物种，特别是在珊瑚礁和海草床严重退化的地区，帮助重建并维持海洋生态系统的稳定性。 1.材料应用：“来自海洋，为了海洋” 该项目创新性地再利用废弃的牡蛎壳废料，将其与水泥按1:1的比例混合，为海洋生物提供栖息地。即使破碎，它也不会污染环境。使用1吨牡蛎壳可以减少1吨废物，并支持100平方米的海洋栖息地。 2.模块化自组装：模块可以自组装形成复杂的三维结构。 这些结构可以净化海水并为海洋生物提供庇护所。三脚架框架既稳定又为海洋生物提供更多的藏身空间。不同大小和形状的模块可以创建有序和复杂的空间结构，满足人类制造以及海洋生物生存条件的需求。
Positive Comments
Judging Comments	This design uses oyster shell concrete to reduce waste and restore marine ecosystems, with each ton of shells creating 100 sqm of habitat. Its modular, self-assembling structure mimics coral branches, offering stability and diverse shelter for marine life. Highly praised for combining environmental impact with biomimetic design.
