Isn’t the egg a fascinating piece of architecture?
A hard protective shell with life inside, built by the chicken within its own body. Similar to the egg, Shaakira views buildings as ‘shells’ which offer us protection and this inspires her to use eggshell waste to innovate a circular building block
