A Chamber Within A RoomDerry, Northern Ireland12-2023
This project explores using seaweed, particularly fucoids, for soundproofing in Derry, Northern Ireland, to tackle rising noise issues. With 500+ complaints to Derry’s council last year due to pet, neighbor, and traffic noises, it's a pressing problem. We've made a small, adaptable chamber using fucoid seaweed and local bio-materials. Our focus: testing its soundproofing in a reverberation room to see if seaweed can effectively combat urban noise.
