Island Logic

A bounded environment that

holds attention in the present.

Island Logic B.jpg

Orientation Snapshot

  • Finite land surrounded by open horizon

  • Life organized without a center

  • Architecture reduced to shade, proportion, and balance

  • Social differences softened by shared conditions

  • An environment that steadily empties noise

Operating Conditions

  • Movement slows without instruction

  • Display loses meaning quickly

  • Faith exists without separation

Reality Pins

  • Djerba disperses life across land instead of concentrating it

  • White surfaces quiet both heat and attention

  • Traditional clothing remains climate logic

  • Different beliefs share the same daily ground

  • Kerkennah barely rises above the sea

Material & Making Implications

  • Lime, clay, palm, and wool are used because they regulate heat and age well

  • White surfaces reflect light and reduce heat gain

  • Palm, wool, and lime require little processing and local knowledge already exists

  • Objects are built to be repaired, reused, or absorbed back into daily life

Handoff

Objects from island logic are designed to function in close proximity
They prioritize balance, durability, and low maintenance
They reduce visual and material load rather than add to it
They belong to environments where excess cannot be sustained
