Our concept considered the spatial qualities and behaviors of inhabiting an above water coral reef. Concrete tubes extruded from the ground rise to create amorphous clusters that serve as tables, seating, shading, gathering nooks, and climbing mounds. The ephemerality of Design Miami/ week caused us to consider the lifespan of our installation, which we decided would be relocated to the Atlantic Ocean to serve as an artificial reef. Our material and process was chosen to maximize interactions both above and below water.
