Island-pelago is a speculative conceptual project aimed for exploration and experimentation in order to reunite the fragments of a once-unified pangaea through the use of artificial intervention, all in order to speculate potential cross-pollinations between developed habitats. Island-pegalo looks at five distinct islands with unique forms, datums, habitat, and ecosystems. Each ecosystem sustains its own distinct fauna and flora, yet the systems on each island remain relatively monocultured. With limited biodiversity, the habitats could not develop any further. Being selective with which islands can interact with another, new species could potentially be generated to fill in that lost diversity.
