About
Building bricks, tiles, reefs, and art that are alive, smart, and kind to nature.
Impact
This project creates living bricks, tiles, reefs, and art that can heal themselves, clean the air, and support nature. It makes buildings last longer, reduces repair costs, creates local jobs, and brings life back to damaged land and oceans.
Progress
Developed and tested a biobrick prototype using bacteria for self-healing, successfully demonstrating mineralization. Current work focuses on embedding microalgae to enable additional CO₂ capture and environmental performance.https://swanmadurai.com/
Team
I have 9 years of hands-on experience in biocementation, making bacteria-based materials work in real conditions. I also have strong knowledge of phytoplankton taxonomy and ecology, which is essential for safely embedding microalgae for CO₂ capture.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
