The Coralith — Plan Colour

The Coralith is a speculative infrastructure project exploring the intersection of marine aquaculture, renewable energy, and eco-tourism. Situated in a sensitive coral reef ecosystem, the structure acts as a 'Biorock Folly', harnessing wave energy to stimulate mineral accretion for reef restoration while providing platforms for oyster harvesting and recreational diving. The design leverages parametric modeling to create organic, porous forms that maximize surface area for marine life attachment and water filtration. It proposes a symbiotic relationship between diverse programmatic needs—energy generation, food production, and ecological regeneration—within a singular, iconic architectural intervention.
