Nature-based Climate Adaptation Design Concepts for Waikīkī
Context response Significant wetland ecosystems can be found around the island of Oahu, and around the Hawaiian Islands chain. Prior to the construction of the Ala Wai Canal in the 1920s, Waikiki and the south shore of Oahu accounted for one of those thriving marsh and wetland ecosytems. This project proposes to use the foundation of this historical precedent and re-create a contemporary interpretation of the area’s original ecosystem.
