Marine Pavilion

Marine Pavilion showcases a temporary architecture project that exemplifies the firm's dedication to sustainability. Using discarded fishing nets and retired bamboo sourced from the village, materials once vital to the local fishing community, the project creatively repurposes them in a way that honors the village’s fading traditional practices. With the local fishing industry in decline and the village population dwindling, especially among the elderly fishermen, many of these materials had been abandoned.



The nets were intricately arranged in a staggered formation, and the height of the bamboo was adjusted to evoke imagery of fishing boat sails and village rooftops, thus paying tribute to the disappearing fishing village. This design not only creates a meaningful temporary space for the community but also signifies Patch Design's innovative use of flexible, discarded materials to offer an economical and sustainable architectural solution. In the exhibition, the pavilion is presented through various mediums including photographs, videos, models, and furniture pieces inspired by the design. The project highlights the importance of material reuse and the environmental impact of design in a community where traditional fishing practices are waning.
