The Aqua cultural era in Haiti.
Water is the new petrol. It is expected the world will eventually fight over water. In Haiti water is already the most valuable commodity. Clean drinking water is the major resource Haiti is lacking.
The 2010 Earthquake left many people homeless and displaced, with severe damage caused to the buildings and infrastructure of Haiti. The earthquake has also led to the sporadic and rapid outbreak of cholera, due to the lack of clean and healthy drinking water.
Nothing is more sustainable that the ocean.
The coastline of Port au Prince is seen as potential territories in which the power of the ocean and water can be harnessed and utilized for energy generation, social rehabilitation and a kick starter to an energy efficient and dependant Haitian nation.
Envisaging a tidal barrage breakwater, and branching and growing out of the barrage a network of nerves; nerves that branch out in the form of desalination pipes and aqua cultural territories that establish the ground work for harnessing the power of the ocean for both energy and clean drinking water purposes.
The need for alternative energy generation in Haiti is desirable; as the country is already deforested and borrows its energy from neighboring Dominican Republic. The need for clean drinking water however is critical; something so essential yet lacking.
The concept proposed tackles primary agendas related to water and the proposal is seen as a primary structure or rather a template designed to accommodate future and further development in the rehabilitation of the Haitian nation.
