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 are featured in a full-color hardbound book published in partnership with Hirmer Verlag, with wide global distribution.

Land art for advancing climate solutions. Journey to the remote village of Marou, Fiji, where clean energy and water systems have been designed as destination artworks supporting a population threatened by a warming planet. Climate Art presents dozens of innovative design ideas for how to build a culturally vibrant post-carbon world in harmony with people and place.

The natural beauty of Fiji’s Yasawa Archipelago attracts visitors each year to its beaches and waters. Yet this idyllic reality coexists with the challenges of a warming planet. As the world passes the 1.5 degrees Celsius climate target, remote coastal communities must adapt quickly. Climate Art explores the outcomes of a global design competition hosted by the Village of Marou to bring forward innovative solutions for resilient clean energy and water systems designed as destination artworks.

Programming

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