The Nagol Tower, erected from natural materials on Pentecost Island (Vanuatu), is an impressive structure made of interwoven tree trunks and roots. Each level, four on this Rangosuksu tower, supports platforms from which jumpers launch themselves into the void. The wood is deeply anchored in the ground, while the plant fibers ensure the cohesion of the whole. Both rustic and ingenious, the towers embody an ancestral know-how that combines balance, robustness, and harmony with the surrounding nature.
