binding reeds
In collaboration with the OCEAN Space in Venice, a concept was developed on how the progressive process of the loss of sediment in the lagoon can be slowed down. The idea resulted from several interviews with a geomorphologist, a biologist and the farmers responsible for the extraction and preservation of reeds (Phragmites Australis).The reeds, once native to the lagoon, prevent sediments from being washed away and can therefore make a positive contribution to preserving the local ecosystem. By reintroducing reed cultivation in the region and processing the material into nesting sites for endangered species, a contribution can be made to preserving the local ecosystem.The research and the concept were told in a visual essay.
