The Path to Greener Waters
Rooted in biological system design, the project serves as a model for ecosystems rehabilitation through ancestral knowledge. Weaving culture and conservation to aid the seagrass meadows that are frequently damaged by recreational activity and climate threats. This project impulses the ecosystem’s resilience with a material structure that serves as the anchor for the plant’s roots and attracts biodiversity.
The first design intervention was on the coastal region of Cabezas de San Juan, Puerto Rico. The fragmented seagrass meadows are bridged with river-harvested ceramic pieces, elaborated with methods from ancient Caribbean cultures that are rooted in native natural cycles.
