"Ligavatuvuce (Hands that Offer and Uplift)," a winning submission to LAGI 2025 Fiji by Young Kang (United Arab Emirates), incorporates solar photovoltaic, battery storage, and rainwater harvesting with biofiltration to produce 120 MWh of electricity and 4.5 million liters of filtered water each year. The artwork shows two human hands rising from the landscape holding a bilo (kava drinking cup) as a gesture of offering. The interior of the bowl is lined with solar modules and the shape of the artwork acts to collect and store rainwater. "The O," a winning submission to LAGI 2025 Fiji by Alberto Roncelli (Denmark), incorporates solar photovoltaic, battery storage, and rainwater harvesting to produce 150 MWh of electricity and 1.2 million liters of filtered water each year. The artwork is a shaped as a perfect circle, a solar-powered pavilion that unites clean energy, rainwater harvesting, and cultural gathering beneath a 40-meter-wide timber canopy.

Since this ridiculousness is making the rounds, here is *actually* how much of the planet we’d need to use in order to meet ALL our ENERGY needs using only renewables. It’s not that large really. A lot of it can be on rooftops and share land with agriculture.

Inspired by the ocean swells surrounding Naviti Island, the artwork transforms waveforms into active, inhabitable infrastructure — gathering sun, channeling rain, and offering shelter from heat and storms. Each sculpture is a curved, aerodynamic shell that blends into the terrain. Sloping white metal surfaces support photovoltaic arrays designed to conceal their technological function beneath a custom high-transmittance nano-film. These crests fold into the land, creating public spaces where the community can meet, rest, and reflect.

Daily surplus powers a 5 kW ice-making system for fish preservation, a community charging station for devices and small batteries, path lighting for nighttime safety, and pumps to distribute harvested water throughout the village. Rainwater is harvested across the full roof area and funneled into an integrated cistern, where it undergoes a four-stage filtration process before reaching a smaller inspection tank for final clarity checks.

What happens when we think about energy landscapes less as monocultures of panels behind fences and more holistically as places for people—combining land uses for energy, water, agriculture, education, and culture? What if we invite communities to be a part of the design process from the start?
