Project Visual Outline

Polynesian voyaging stands as a testament to the engineering and navigation skills of Pacific Islanders. As our world faces the challenges of diminishing natural resources, the art of canoe building must undergo a transformative journey. This project considers chitin, a versatile natural polymer, as a material for eco-friendly canoe construction. By using innovative bio-reactor technology and repurposing organic waste, chitin could be produced sustainably and used in the future of wa’a building.
