Regenerative Islands

Grand Prix Laureat
  • Year2023
Regenerative islands promote the accumulation of sand and self-growth ability of islands by using the power of waves.

Pacific island nations are threatened by coastal erosion and submergence due to storm surges and sea level rising must adapt to the changing natural environment. This proposal does not destroy ecosystems by artificial barriers, but rather promotes the sustainable self-growth capacity of islands by controlling ocean waves and promoting the accumulation of sand on the islands. Furthermore, by creating sandbars over the shallows, the environment, culture, and ecosystem of the island nation will be reconstructed, creating a future with new landscapes that are softly adapted to climate change.
