BState

Pushed away from the countryside by the increasing use of high-crop yields, monoculture and chemicals, bees may find a more suitable environment in cities. ‘BState’ is a new type of tower in which bees are considered as key workers: they sense the environment, support the local ecology and produce food. Located in a vacant former railway site in Shoreditch, the tower is characterised by a continuous, fractal-like façade which provides plenty of niches, gaps and openings for both bees and local residents to colonise and inhabit. The resulting building smells, buzzes, swarms and produces food to celebrate its minuscule inhabitants: bees.
