Architects Besley & Spresser have partnered with Rotterdam-based material scientists Asbeter and ceramicist Benedetta Pompilli to turn asbestos waste into carbon-negative architectural materials. By recrystallizing asbestos into stable silicates, the process creates safe, tactile elements for cement replacement and mineral additives.

Die Architekten Besley & Spresser arbeiten mit den Rotterdamer Materialwissenschaftlern Asbeter und der Keramikerin Benedetta Pompilli zusammen, um Asbestabfälle in carbon-negative Baustoffe zu verwandeln. Durch Rekristallisation entstehen stabile Silikate, die sicher sind und als Zementersatz oder mineralische Zusatzstoffe genutzt werden können.
