10 BETWEEN TOXIN AND BEAUTY

12/2024
Academic Work


Type: Innovative Design



 This project explores "out-of-focus architecture" by building a sanctuary coexisting within the toxic yet mesmerizing environment of the red tide in the Gulf of Mexico. By blurring the boundaries between habitats and red tide, these capsule-like shelters create fluid, adaptable spaces that sustain a symbiotic ecosystem. They offer protection from toxicity while embracing the haunting beauty of the red tide. The project emphasizes the tension between beauty and danger, life and death, as the structures evolve with the tides. Their memory lingers in the architecture, preserving traces of the red tide's ephemeral presence and challenging traditional notions of spatial hierarchy.
