Discover the innovative world of eco-friendly design with The Reef Design Lab’s Eco Reef units, featured in the globally recognised Dell Eco Reef project.

These specially designed reef units, inspired by nature's own reef structures, serve a dual purpose: to rehabilitate marine and coastal ecosystems and demonstrate the intersection of art, design, and environmental science.

By imitating natural reef forms, the units provide essential habitats for marine life, enhancing biodiversity while protecting vulnerable species.

These eco-reefs have been carefully designed to not only protect the coast form severe wave action and create marine habitats but also withstand various environmental conditions, making them an important tool in ocean conservation.

This exhibition is a chance for people to view the intricate details and engineering behind the design units, understand the significance of their role in the Dell Eco Reef, and see how human creativity can positively impact the environment.

Witness how innovative design can help protect our coast, and be inspired by how art and science can collaborate for a sustainable future.

Come and explore this fascinating fusion of design and ecology, where each unit tells a story of restoration, resilience, and hope for our underwater worlds.

Understanding these designs will give you insight into the vital role they play in ocean rehabilitation, emphasising the importance of environmentally conscious design for our planet's future.

This event is part of Geelong Design Week 2024, an initiative of Geelong UNESCO City of Design and the City of Greater Geelong.
