A little over a year ago I was printing clay prototypes at @newinc, now I’m Proud and grateful to present TEMIS — our first self-bearing 3D printed earth prototype with @seedcollective.mx

Built from the ground beneath our feet. No steel skeleton. No concrete dependency. Just geometry, material intelligence, and trust in the team.

Earth construction means lower embodied carbon, thermal mass for passive comfort, local sourcing, and architecture that can return to the soil at the end of its life.

Ancient material. Advanced tech.
A future where architecture supports humans, ecosystems, and all living beings.

Grateful for the team who believed, experimented, failed, recalibrated, and pushed this into reality.

Orgulloso y agradecido de presentar TEMIS — nuestro primer prototipo autoportante de vivienda impresa en tierra.

Construida con el suelo bajo nuestros pies. Sin esqueleto de acero. Sin dependencia del concreto. Solo geometría, inteligencia material y confianza en el equipo.

La construcción con tierra reduce el carbono incorporado, ofrece masa térmica para confort pasivo, utiliza materiales locales y puede regresar a la tierra al final de su vida útil.

Material ancestral. Tecnología avanzada.
Un futuro donde la arquitectura apoya a los humanos, los ecosistemas y todos los seres vivos.

Agradecido con el equipo que creyó, experimentó, falló, ajustó y lo convirtió en realidad.

“Alfredo Salazar-Caro’s “Silva Ex Machina (a forest from the machine)” is an animation centering on a scan of a sculpture of Xōchipilli, a Mexica deity whose name translates into “flower prince” in the Nahuatl language. Xōchipilli is associated with flowers, hallucinogenic plants, medicinal herbs, music, and dance. Both the statue and its base are covered in carvings of morning glory and other flowers, as well as sacred and psychoactive organisms such as mushrooms, suggesting transformation and the transmuting of energy. Created with generative geometries and AI, Salazar-Caro’s animation shows blossoms and plants sprouting from the rotating statue, extending the abstracted engravings into a luscious, naturalistic representation. The sculpture from which the scan has been created is housed in Mexico City, its place of origin, in the National Museum of Anthropology. The proceeds from the NFT sales will go to Eden Reforestation Projects, devoted to restoring regional forests in the Amazon with the help of local communities. Together, the collectors of the edition could potentially support the planting of a small forest. “Silvia Ex Machina” transplants Xōchipilli’s statue into a distributed virtual simulation, invoking its medicinal powers through the process of reforestation.”

🌱 ARTE, TECNOLOGÍA Y NATURALEZA | SEED 2026

Nos entusiasma presentar a Alfredo Salazar-Caro, artista mexicano cuya práctica explora la intersección entre el arte, la tecnología, la realidad virtual y la arquitectura biocompatible.

Su trabajo nos invita a imaginar nuevas formas de relacionarnos con la materia, los entornos digitales y la naturaleza, expandiendo las posibilidades del arte como herramienta de exploración y transformación.

En SEED 2026 abrimos un espacio para reflexionar sobre cómo la creatividad, la innovación y los materiales naturales pueden ayudarnos a imaginar y construir futuros regenerativos. 🌎

📍 Zyanya, Ciudad de México

Itzcoatl, Serpiente de Obsidiana, es el primer fragmento de una serpiente monumental concebida como un gesto arquitectónico en evolución. Impresa en 3D con tierra oscura, arena volcánica, materia carbonizada y obsidiana, su cuerpo evoca la lava en enfriamiento y la geología viva del @anahuacalli . Surgida de un escaneo 3D reinterpretado de una Xiuhcoatl, la obra oscila entre la arqueología y la especulación: una serpiente negra que emerge de las profundidades como emblema de renovación, conocimiento oculto y la oscuridad luminosa de la que surgen la vida y la conciencia.

Itzcoatl, Obsidian Serpent, is the first fragment of a monumental serpent imagined as an evolving architectural gesture. 3D printed in dark earth, volcanic sand, charred matter, and obsidian, its body recalls cooling lava and the living geology of the Anahuacalli. Drawn from a remixed 3D scan of a Xiuhcoatl, the work hovers between archaeology and speculation, a black serpent rising from the depths as an emblem of renewal, hidden knowledge, and the luminous
darkness from which life and consciousness emerge.

Nada de esto sería posible sin un gran equipo y gran apoyo. Mil gracias por contribuir cada quien con sus talentos 💚

Itzcoatl was the fourth ruler of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, his name means Obsidian Serpent. This Black Earth serpent head was commissioned via @superchiefgallery and #8napart for an upcoming exhibition at @anahuacalli a beautiful museum and architectural masterpiece made from volcanic stone and designed by two of my favorite Mexican legends Diego Rivera and Juan O’Gorman.

The head of this obsidian snake is the first part of a larger body to be revealed later this year. For now im beyond thrilled for her to spend some time on her new volcanic home opening August 8th!

BIG thanks to the giant, brilliant and dedicated team that came together to make this happen

Itzcóatl fue el cuarto gobernante de México-Tenochtitlan; su nombre significa “Serpiente de obsidiana”. Esta cabeza de serpiente de “Tierra Negra” fue realizada por encargo a través de #superchiefgallery y 8napart para una próxima exposición en el @anahuacalli, un hermoso museo y obra maestra arquitectónica construida en piedra volcánica y diseñada por dos de mis leyendas mexicanas favoritas: Diego Rivera y Juan O’Gorman.

La cabeza de esta serpiente de obsidiana es la primera parte de un cuerpo más grande que se dará a conocer más adelante este año. Por ahora, estoy más que emocionado de que pase un tiempo en su nuevo hogar volcánico este 8 de Agosto

Un enorme agradecimiento al equipo gigante, brillante y dedicado que se unió para hacer esto realidad taken in Mexico City, Mexico by @tmvrtx
