In response to the escalating 21st-century environmental challenges, this research investigates rewilding-oriented architectural strategies through 3D printed components designed to support the Apis mellifera pollinators. Integrating computational design, traditional apiculture practices, and sustainable local materials, the aim is to establish an Interspecies Design framework that embeds biodiversity support and ecological agency within sustainable architectural practice. Material formulations prioritise low-impact, waste-derived resources to minimise ecological footprint. Validation follows a two-phase protocol: lab-scale testing to assess thermal and acoustic performance, followed by in-situ monitoring of pollinator interaction and ecological integration.
