i am in your teeth, your bones, you r nails. i help your muscles contract.
i help your heart beat. you need me. I am in every brick in the colosseum
and in the walls of caves. I am in soil, sand, and statues. every living
thing requires me to function. when the living die, when a building
crumbles, i will continue on. i have many jobs, i live many lives. you call
me Calcium.
indiscernible elements: Calcium explores the path a molecule can take
through various stages of life and death – from the perspective of Calcium
itself. through the use of detailed illustrations, poetry, and dialogue,
author Korynn Newville creates a discussion around how humans can change the
way they create the built environment to be more conscious of the wondrous
systems at work in nature. if the same Calcium in a femur bone can be used
in concrete to build a cathedral, a house, a sidewalk or can be recycled by
a nearby plant or tree, how can humans purposefully help that process along?
what would Calcium design if it had the choice? what would Calcium say if it
could tell you its story.
