Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI)
The Land Art Generator Initiative has been working in communities around the world since 2010 to leverage the power of art and design to accelerate the global response to climate change.
Tens of thousands of creative minds have participated in LAGI programming, rallying behind the cause of bringing forth a post-carbon future that is beautiful, equitable, and prosperous.
We thank those of you who have participated before — warmly welcoming you to participate again this year — and we welcome those of you for whom this will be your first LAGI design competition.
Together you are inspiring the public imagination and contributing to the design of a better future that is as beautiful as it is sustainable.
LAGI design competitions are opportunities to
re-think conventional ideas and put forward exceptional solutions for sustainable systems designed to double as beautiful places for people — regenerative works of art for landscapes, cultural sites, destinations, and public parks — creating shared land uses and co-benefits for healthy communities.
LAGI 2025 Fiji focuses our collective creative energies on one of the world’s most pressing challenges — how can island communities preserve and enhance their ways of life in the face of a changing climate?
Rising sea levels, rapidly warming waters, prolonged droughts, and storms of increasing severity are the result of atmospheric greenhouse gas pollution to which island communities have hardly contributed and yet from which they now face the most extreme consequences. What does it mean to design distributed sustainable infrastructure within this context?
LAGI 2025 Fiji is the ninth LAGI open-call design competition, following LAGI 2010 Dubai/Abu Dhabi, LAGI 2012 NYC, LAGI 2014 Copenhagen, LAGI 2016 Santa Monica, LAGI 2018 Melbourne, LAGI 2019 Abu Dhabi, LAGI 2020 Fly Ranch, and LAGI 2022 Mannheim.
The LAGI archives are collected by the Nevada Museum of Art, Center for Art + Environment.
