Project Details

In this project, ORG led research and design for a Maritime Multifunctional Landscape Infrastructure (MMLI) to serve as an integrated response to the societal, environmental, energy, and climate challenges being faced today. The MMLI includes artificial reefs to protect the coast, restore habitats, and enrich biodiversity, sandbanks with aquaculture for coastal protection and food production, renewable energy production such as wind, wave, and solar, structures with blue energy battery, hydrogen, and CO2 storage, data centers, desalination, research facilities, monitoring stations, ecotourism, etc.

In short, the MMLI functions as a complex system of infrastructures operating in harmony, while appearing as a landscape or island. As a whole, the MMLI works to provide a clean energy future and support flourishing ecological systems. The project includes an in-depth environmental and co-creation study to provide a realizable, well-supported implementation scheme, along with verified environmental benefits.
