Education

For the launch of LAGI 2025 Fiji, we have put together a free Field Guide to Regenerative Water Technologies as a useful resource for all designers, urban planners, students, developers, artists, architects, landscape architects, engineers, homeowners, and anyone else interested in a better future. It is a companion guide to the Land Art Generator Field Guide to Renewable Energy Technologies and we recommend that they be used together to arrive at beautiful hybrid systems that use energy and water technologies as media for creative expression and placemaking for people.

This water guide is organized by technology type, but you will find they often function most efficiently when designed as integrated systems of more than one technology type where flows of heat, electricity, and water work in harmony. Almost every one of the technologies in this water guide can be paired with solar electricity or solar thermal systems, providing abundant and carbon-free energy from the sun as the primary feedstock to locally defy entropy and limit the need for external resources.

As we publish this online resource, the world is about to pass the 1.5 °C threshold of warming above our pre-industrial past. This milestone is a wake-up call to redouble our efforts and help ensure that the most vulnerable communities who live on the front lines of climate impact can count on resilient systems for energy and water that work in concert with natural systems, enhance biodiversity, and contribute to lasting human flourishing for generations to come.

Publication

Selected LAGI 2025 Fiji submissions will be featured in a full-color hardbound book published in partnership with Hirmer Verlag, with wide global distribution.

Essays from thought leaders at the front of the book will set the stage, explaining the impacts of climate change on island communities, the state of the art for energy and water systems in Fiji, and best practices in co-creation with rural villages. Projects featured with colorful written narratives and detailed diagrams will explain your innovative ideas and how they work in harmony with nature and community.

Above is the cover for the LAGI 2020 Fly Ranch publication Land Art of the 21st Century.

 

Programming

As we engage with communities around Fiji throughout 2025 we will be co-creating additional educational material that will also be shared on this site.

Exhibitions featuring design submissions will be held in partnership with the Fiji Arts Council.

Check back in for updates throughout the year!
