The 2018 eruption of Kīlauea, the largest in the lower East Rift Zone in more than two centuries, covered more than 8,400 acres and reshaped the Puna district on Hawaiʻi Island. Roads, buildings, and other critical infrastructure were destroyed, while culturally significant landscapes were transformed.¹ New land emerged, coastlines were redrawn.² These places became contested grounds where residents and visitors engaged with varied understandings and connections to place. The aftermath of a natural or human-caused disaster creates a complex context for design. When is it appropriate to initiate planning or rebuilding? Which guidelines should direct the process, and who needs to be consulted? How might design support remembrance, daily life, preparedness, and dialogue across diverse perspectives?
