Uiga Fa'apitoa: Climbing the Ladder, Party Amphitheatre is a modular, community-assembled temporary theater made of timber frames, ladders, and tension straps. Designed for assembly by local villagers, it fosters participation as both audience and builders. The adaptable structure hosts performances and screenings, revitalizing the orchard into a social hub. This project merges architecture with rural life, turning tools into a spatial framework that strengthens community bonds.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: The modular amphitheatre consists of timber frame units measuring 2,400 mm x 1,200 mm x 2,500 mm. Ladders function as adjustable seating risers ranging from 500 mm to 1,500 mm in height, enabling flexible audience arrangements. Fully assembled, the structure spans up to 12 m x 8 m x 4 m and adapts easily to uneven orchard terrain.

Tekonolosi Gaosiga: The structure employs a modular timber frame system combined with locally sourced ladders and tension straps, enabling rapid assembly and disassembly without heavy machinery. Structural stability is achieved through interlocking joints and adjustable tensioning, while the modular system allows scalability and adaptation to orchard topography. Timber surfaces are treated for durability, ensuring both functional performance and visual harmony with the rural landscape.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: This design explores how participatory architecture can activate rural spaces and strengthen social cohesion through simple, adaptable systems. By transforming ladders - an everyday rural object - into a spatial and cultural framework, the project demonstrates how design can elevate ordinary tools into platforms for interaction, performance, and collective experience. The amphitheatre reveals the potential of low-tech, community-driven construction to create meaningful public spaces that are flexible, inclusive, and deeply connected to local culture.
Su'esu'ega: This field research investigated the integration of vernacular farming tools into participatory rural architecture. The objective was to create a low-cost, modular theater system. Using qualitative observation and structural prototyping, the study engaged local villagers as active participants in the assembly process. Results showed that utilizing familiar ladders as core components reduced construction barriers and costs. This research impacts rural social cohesion by proving that community-driven, low-tech frameworks can successfully revitalize orchard landscapes into interactive cultural venues.
Fa'aosofia: Rooted in the centuries-old pear orchards of Aiyuan Town, Jiangsu, this project draws inspiration from the everyday ladder. Reimagined as a collective architectural element, the ladder, traditionally used for farming and labor, becomes a symbol of gathering and shared memory. By transforming this familiar object into a modular spatial system, the design celebrates local traditions while creating a contemporary platform for performance and communal life within the orchard landscape.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project was developed and constructed between March and September 2024 in Aiyuan Town, Jiangsu, China. Installed within the town's pear orchards, the amphitheatre was activated during seasonal festivals and community gatherings, reinforcing local participation and cultural engagement.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: The amphitheatre is assembled collaboratively by villagers through a simple system of interlocking timber frames, ladders, and straps. Audiences move freely between levels, sit on ladders or platforms, and engage with performances from multiple perspectives. The open, reconfigurable layout encourages informal interaction, flexibility, and immersion, allowing the space to adapt to different events while fostering a shared sense of ownership and participation.
