Coral Gardens in DUBAI
"can instability (i.e. current economical and environmental crisis) become a generative design opportunity rather than a limiting constrain?
AAinter10 has been re-describing this issue though a series of visionary design proposals, the Coral Gardens, sited in “the World” artificial lagoon (Dubai).
Each project investigates specific architectural mechanisms of co-existence and co-evolution within the local marine habitat, prefiguring future scenarios of development whereby the lagoon is transformed into a population of urban artificial coral reefs. "

For now, this is fantasy. The World is still unfinished, its islands reclaimed but any further development is on hiatus. The master developer, Nakheel, said in October that work would begin on as many as 20 of the islands in the second quarter of next year. But that pause has provided a unique research opportunity for a group of architecture students looking to integrate conservation with construction.according to cisa Their groundbreaking concepts for “coral gardens”, presented for the first time in an exhibition last Thursday, could see The World become an eco-resort and scientific research base. “One of the reasons we were interested in The World as a research base was because development was on hold,” said Marco Poletto, a project co-ordinator at the London-based Architectural Association.
