- Description
- This treatise will be focused on the design of a Mixed-use Facility in Mauritius, which will be implemented within an existing fishing village, Grand Gaube, located along the Northern coast of the Island. This site has been chosen due to its high fishermen population relying on fishing for their livelihoods. The proposed design will be aimed at a sustainable fishery which will involve the development of offshore bank fishing as opposed to the traditional lagoon fishing. With a focus on promoting a better catch quantity and quality, the increase in domestic production will be aimed at supplying the local market whereby a significant demand for seafood exists. In the process, the project will aim to alleviate poverty for the local fishermen communities through increased trade and job creations, while being in line with the Government’s vision for the development of the fisheries sector in Mauritius. The facility will include a Fish Landing Terminal, a Fish Processing Plant, and a Fish Market, for the production of a branded local product while accommodating the fishermen’s daily activities, as well as a highly public platform to create an activated public environment. In doing so, the proposed architectural intervention will act as a catalyst for urban and social change.
