LAGI announced the winners of its 2025 competition focused on Marou Village, Fiji, aiming to develop renewable energy and water systems that also serve as cultural spaces. Supported by local and international organizations, LAGI received over 200 entries. The two selected projects, The O by Alberto Roncelli and Ligavatuvuce by Young Kang, highlight the integration of functional systems with artistic design. The evaluation process involved direct participation from community residents, ensuring proposals aligned with local needs and traditions, emphasizing both environmental and social considerations.
The O by Alberto Roncelli takes the form of a circular timber pavilion, combining solar energy production and rainwater harvesting beneath a wide canopy that also serves as a flexible communal space.
Proposals were assessed not only for technical feasibility and environmental impact but also for their ability to engage meaningfully with the context of Marou Village, with residents participating directly in the evaluation process alongside an international jury.
