LAGI 2025 Fiji

Our team participated in the Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) 2025 Fiji international design competition with a site-specific proposal that reimagines renewable energy generation as a form of climate-conscious art and infrastructure. Our work focused on Marou Village, embracing indigenous Fijian knowledge systems, climate adaptation strategies, and aesthetic integration with the local environment.

The design combines solar energy harvesting with water collection and passive cooling techniques, while the formal language draws inspiration from traditional Fijian architecture and local ecosystems. At the heart of the proposal lies a tall slatted wooden tower echoing the drua sail form, surrounded by modular pavilion structures, a central courtyard, and public gathering space. The project centers around equity, self-sufficiency, and climate resilience.

Although not selected for an award, our proposal was shortlisted by Marou Village residents, selected for the official LAGI 2025 Fiji Exhibition at the Fiji Arts Council, and included in the upcoming publication Climate Art: Powering Island Communities in the 21st Century.
