The Marine Conservation Awareness Center serves as a research hub and educational facility dedicated to the study and preservation of marine ecosystems. The design concept takes inspiration from the ocean’s layered ecosystem, with the built structure metaphorically representing a section of the sea—where floating forms, organic pathways, and structural elements mimic marine life and underwater vegetation. This elevated structure hosts research labs, teaching spaces, a library, workshops, and a conference hall, fostering innovation in marine conservation. Beyond functionality, the project aims to raise awareness of ocean degradation and propose climatic interventions to mitigate rising sea temperatures.
The project integrates 3D-printed farming reefs to support coral regeneration, creating a marine sanctuary while serving as both an educational platform and an ecological intervention, showcasing design’s role in ocean restoration and environmental resilience.
