Dune Restoration Support Pavillion
Volunteers activate the structure; lifting awnings towards the dunes and Taputeranga, creating rituals for the inhabitants of the day.
The pavilion utilises modular design for deconstruction methodology, allowing it to be withdrawn from the site and leave minimal trace once the ecosystem is restored.
Volunteers restore the fore and mid dune, hosted in the pavilion. Actioning care through the re-establishment of adaptive ecosystems.

This project investigates coastal resiliency strategies for Island Bay, Te Whanganui-a-Tara due to rising sea levels caused by climate change. It proposes restoring the original coastal dunes to replace the current sea wall, to allow the ecosystem to carry out its innate role of adapting and protecting the area. I have designed a temporary pavilion, offering hospitality and equipment to volunteer community groups, hosting them as they restore this vital ecosystem.
