Alcyonacea is an architectural pavilion designed to celebrate the intricate beauty and ecological significance of coral. The installation transforms organic complexity into a sculptural spatial experience that invites reflection on humanity’s relationship with the natural world. Through its scale and form, the pavilion metaphorically amplifies the profound importance of these seemingly small organisms whose existence sustains entire ecosystems.

 

The design seeks to evoke both wonder and awareness, using art and architecture as conduits for environmental consciousness. Light, texture, and structure work in harmony to mirror the resilience and fragility of coral reefs. Alcyonacea becomes a living metaphor: a reminder that even the most delicate elements of our planet hold immense power, and that our survival is inextricably intertwined with theirs.
