Mangrove Forest

Mangrove forests are complex coastal ecosystems that support biodiversity, protect shorelines, and sustain local economies. Designers and architects engage with mangrove environments as both ecological systems and sites for human intervention, considering how built environments can coexist with these sensitive landscapes.The community explores mangrove-informed design through modular housing systems, flood-resilient structures, and projects that integrate ecological logic with coastal development. Work ranges from spatial investigations of movement through mangrove terrain to proposals that balance scientific research, local economic activity, and environmental sensitivity in coastal regions.
