Between The Sky & Earth: A Land Art Generator Pavilion for Marou Village in Fiji
.
This project begins with a key question: where is the balance between the pragmatic and poetic dimensions of a land art energy generator in the Fiji context? It seeks harmony between tradition and technology, nature and culture, within a constrained environment. The aim is to transform conventional infrastructure into a meaningful, multipurpose community asset—one that reflects local identity and draws inspiration from sky and earth.
.
The resulting typology merges structure and landscape, functioning both as interconnected ecosystem and standalone art piece. It is conceived to be integrated, self-reliant, resilient, and zero-carbon, guided by circular material cycles and a “leave no trace” approach. Low-tech methods and organic materials ensure practicality and affordability across economic, environmental, and social aspects. The pavilion embodies an ecological ethos, where all inputs—material, energy, and water—are part of a continuous loop rather than a linear process.

Un ritual ancestral de 24 horas se convierte en el generador de un proyecto urbano completo. En Calama, Chile — segunda comuna con mayor déficit habitacional de la Región de Antofagasta — la ceremonia de Limpia de Canales estructura una reconfiguración de borde agro-urbano de 104.908 m². 180 módulos de ecoviviendas que flotan sobre suelo agrícola preservado, integrando hidroponía vertical, captación solar y el calendario de riego del Río Loa. Arquitectura como continuidad cultural frente a la expansión industrial.

📍 La Muralla Roja
Somewhere between the sea and the sky,
architecture turns into a play of light, color, and movement 🩵
Stairs that seem to lead nowhere,
yet make you rethink the idea of space itself.
A timeless masterpiece by Ricardo Bofill 🤍✨

The ground level is thoughtfully designed to be highly integrated with the outdoor spaces, thereby establishing a seamless transition between public and private domains.
This connection is a core principle in our typological development, aiming to foster a welcoming environment both within and beyond the building’s confines. We achieve this by incorporating inviting lobbies, versatile common areas, and accessible public spaces that serve to bridge the open and enclosed areas, encouraging interaction and a sense of community.
The living units are designed to comply with existing regulations, prioritizing solar irradiance, climate comfort, and spatial usability. Primarily, these units are oriented towards the sunniest aspects of the site. Conversely, service spaces and vertical circulation elements are strategically positioned on the opposite side. The rotated grid of the master plan optimizes the placement of openings, while terraced landscaping progressively reveals the buildings. This stepped approach allows for refined control over the daylight regulation strategy.

How can we create a construction system that allows for the disassembly of an entire building without wasting raw materials and enables their recycling?
This question was the central focus of “Design for Disassembly .” Starting with 1:1 scale prototypes, a system was developed that uses a clamping mechanism to connect a column based structure made of rammed earth blocks with horizontal steel elements. The hybrid construction with steel made it possible to implement the program of six classrooms and a gymnasium while adhering to the specified room spans.
Furthermore, the building’s materials are intended to complement one another. The clay, as a sustainable building material, provides the entire structure with the necessary warmth, while the steel creates a sense of lightness.
The school building is located south of the existing Pestalozzi Gymnasium in Munich and opens up toward the central school courtyard. The difference in elevation between the school’s floor level and that of the courtyard presents a challenge. Thanks to the flexible construction system, the school can be built at the same level, and terraced steps create a direct connection to the courtyard that also serves as a seating area. This connection is reinforced by the hydraulic tilting gates on the north side, which, when opened, eliminate the separation between the exterior and interior spaces, creating a flexible area for school events such as summer festivals.
The Columns themselves function as threshold spaces between the various uses. The threshold creates a buffer zone between the hallway, which has a higher noise level, and the classrooms, which require a quiet learning environment and are therefore located at the rear. The threshold spaces also provide an opportunity to accommodate secondary spaces such as restrooms and seating niches, storage rooms in the sports hall, and plant baskets on the ground floor. The building is accessed from the sides with direct access to the main hallway.
