The UK's building industry has a design life of only 60 years, far from everlasting. Steel and glass structures rapidly dominate the city skyline, outpacing the growth of ivy on a brick wall. In an effort to infiltrate this industry, TRESPASS PLEASE proposes future ruin concepts that utilise sustainable oat bricks.

Ideally, developers will appreciate the low manufacturing cost, attractive price, and super sustainable qualities of the brick and incorporate it into future commercial projects. Ultimately, this will have a broader impact on the industry. Ironically, plants and invertebrates will inhabit the brick structures long before humans do.

In response to the BSI Standards Publication: BS 7543, which pertains to the design life of buildings, TRESPASS PLEASE employs a capitalist, commercial, and obscure language to entice developers to use the highly eco-friendly brick. The proposal exemplifies the ecosophy of Arne Næss and ecological humanism by fully degrading in a matter of weeks.

However, there is another aspect to the project—an ever-present world being constructed around the proposal, growing and spreading like ivy.
