Texel is faced with increased soil salinity and accelerated sediment movement, caused by the presence of excess nitrogen as a byproduct of industrialised agriculture on the island. These issues are at threat of further exacerbation due to the increased storm severity in the rising North Sea. Moving towards a regenerative and rotational agriculture system would decrease the dependency on artificial fertilisers, leading to the replenishment of the island’s soil and water systems, whilst still maintaining the food production networks that support the agricultural workers. This proposal takes place as a kit of parts - firstly, a series of outposts and inhabitable pavilions designed to monitor and assess a number of factors - from soil salinity, to changes in offshore conditions. The data and information gathered will inform the landscape and rotational agriculture strategy. Collectively, these proposals form a methodology and deployable architectural tool kit to respond to the multifaceted environmental conditions in sites globally.
