Against Extinction: Seeking Redemption in the Gulf of Pozzuoli Part 2 Project 2024 Aoife Marie O'ConnorAleksandra Polak University College Cork | Ireland The Festival of Extinction responds to unique volcanic conditions within the Gulf of Pozzuoli, creating a site-specific architecture response that provides a voice to a turbulent landscape. The potential of an extinction level event hangs over the population of Naples as the Campi Flegrei region to the west quakes and threatens extinction. Occupying individual volatile sites, the festival collaborates with the super volcano to create a new social infrastructure, across the 38km² volcanic caldera, that exposes the geologic threat under the picturesque.As users are surrounded by potential volcanic power and interact with stories of climate victims, they are placed within the possibility of extinction. The societal agreement with our economic system is causing global warming and leading to climate disruption, the architecture proposal queries this deal with the devil.The architecture invites a new narrative of extinction to be associated with the volcanic region. Built from site specific conditions, the architecture offers space to support climate victims while remediating industrial damage which marks the Anthropogenic impact on the picturesque landscape. Redemption can be found by animating the landscape as a character to be cared for in its own story. The landscape is given its own voice through the architecture.
