About Discussions Projects5 Journals10 Publications2

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.

Mangrove Swamp

The Project proposes the solution to the floods through the construction of a large structure that supports the houses, and prevents them from being affected by water. The modulation of the structure and its relationship with the floor allow an easy adaptation of this in any place in turn allows an easy growth and an easy relation with the floor.
