CORAL_PARLEY
Title: Coral Revival
A Collaborative Installation with Parley in Cozumel
Project Overview
This installation, created in collaboration with Parley, is a 15-meter-long structure crafted from recycled ocean plastic, representing the devastating effects of pollution on coral reefs. Inspired by the endangered staghorn coral of the Mexican Caribbean, the piece mimics the bleaching caused by climate change. Visitors walk through this massive coral as if they were fish, experiencing firsthand the fragility of marine ecosystems.
Innovative Design
Designed parametrically in Grasshopper, the coral features a steel core with standardized bars for quick fabrication. Its striking form is a blend of art, architecture, and environmental activism, highlighting the urgent need to address plastic pollution.
Architectural Innovation
This project challenges traditional architecture by merging computational design and recycled materials to create a meaningful statement on ocean conservation and sustainability.
