The concept aims to combat the extinction of mangrove forests and mitigate the destructive impact of high tides on coastal shores.

Inspired by coral formations, tube-like structures were designed to shelter small aquatic creatures, promoting biodiversity and supporting ecosystem development. Concrete, known for its durability, is proposed to mould these structures. This concept is backed by historical precedent, such as the use of concrete in the construction of warships during World War II, highlighting its strength and adaptability in harsh environments.

The concept aims to create a natural boundary between land and water by planting mangrove trees. This boundary acts as a defence against heavy tides, with floating structures carrying mangrove seeds to encourage forest growth. By combining nature and technology, this innovative approach provides a sustainable solution for coastal protection and the preservation of mangrove forests.

The prototype was developed by moulding clay to create a coral form. The initial structure was shaped using aluminium foil for a sturdy base, which was then covered with clay to achieve the desired finish. The mangrove tree element was intricately crafted using the traditional Chinese art of bonsai wire sculpting, capturing the delicate and detailed nature of mangrove trees.
