Killing off fish and vegetation, the Huron River’s polluted waters actively prevent a thriving local ecosystem. Drawing inspiration from the resilliant nature of Capoeira, the active motion of the “Jinga”, and the sport’s natural reliance on community, nature, and storytelling, a proposed fieldhouse envisions the ionization of algae-infested tides. By harnessing the power of constant motion of the dance– a constant fight and an ongoing history, Pavogen tiles allow for Capoeristas to convert their kinetic energy into a physical purification system filtering Huron River water into a pond, allowing for irrigation, offering safe drinking water, and a built-around community center.
