TetraPOT 2.0 – The Evolution of Greener Sea Defense, 2015-2018
It was designed by Sheng-Hung Lee. It is dated 2015-2018. Its medium is scale prototypes, rendering. It is a part of the department.
The TetraPOT is an artificial shoreline defense that works with the surrounding ecosystem. Sheng-Hung Lee designed a 3-part mold with holes and a central chamber to contain a mangrove seedling. As the mangrove matures, its root system seeks out the holes and connects to adjacent seeded pods, creating an interlocking root system.
It is credited Courtesy of Sheng-Hung Lee.
