Environmental Architecture
Architecture designed with environmental responsibility, using sustainable materials and climate-responsive strategies.
BIOREEF: Sustainable Architecture for Ocean Cleanup and Reef Restoration
BIOREEF imagines sustainable architecture as a living ocean station that cleans plastic, restores reefs, and supports marine research.
Aquatic Beacon: Underwater Architecture for Ocean Research and Restoration
Aquatic Beacon uses underwater architecture to create a modular research community focused on ocean restoration near the Great Barrier Reef.
Continental Shelf Recycling Habitat: Architecture Grown from Ocean Waste
A speculative underwater settlement transforms a submerged sinkhole and accumulated marine debris into the foundation for modular, expandable habitation.
Aquatic Alveolus: Underwater Architecture Modeled on the Human Body
A shortlisted entry for EHC Pacific reimagines subsea living as an interconnected organism of pods, tunnels, and energy systems.
Submersion: A Modular Kit for Building Communities Beneath the Ocean
A scalable underwater habitat system organized around repeatable hubs, standardized connections, and renewable infrastructure for long-term subsea living.
Redefining the Pacific: A Stingray-Inspired Underwater Colony That Grows Like a Living Organism
Modular marine pods elevated above the seabed connect into expandable underwater settlements inspired by stingray biology and behavior.
Kelpscape: An Underwater Habitat That Becomes Part of the Kelp Forest
A submersible research vessel designed to be colonized by the very marine ecosystem it studies, blurring the line between architecture and organism.
Operative Sanctuary: Architecture Designed for Marine Life, Not Human Comfort
A speculative underwater habitat reframes sustainable architecture as ecological infrastructure for species threatened by ocean pollution.
Social Nature: Replacing Fences with Landscape to Rethink Animal Shelter Architecture
A layered system of habitats, elevated walkways, and modular pavilions creates a gradient from public park to protected animal territory.
Connection to Traditions: Pressed Earth Housing Shaped by Ghana's Climate
A residential community in Ghana uses passive ventilation, pressed earth walls, and porous courtyard planning to root sustainability in local tradition.
SCENTLAND: An Animal Shelter Designed Through the Nose of a Dog
Winner of Strays 2020, this proposal uses scent mapping to generate circulation, form, and program for a sensory-driven shelter.
Biodiversity Lab: An Underwater Habitat That Grows Like a Coral Reef
A shortlisted entry for EHC Pacific reimagines the research laboratory as a modular, coral-compatible framework on the Great Barrier Reef seabed.
