The design proposes a continuous woven structure along the river sides, where there is an integration of agricultural with housing and infrastructure. This continuous structure creates a landscape, where it works as an open public spaces, agricultural fields and sometimes become the roof top of a building. Through layering, it links different functions throughout the site. To control the flood and rain water, the drainage system directs the water flow from river and other areas to linked wetlands for collection and purification. As part of the program, bio-gas hills with open plazas at the top are used for energy production, different height of fields are used for agriculture growth, creating social integration by mixing residential apartments for middle and upper class citizen and settlement housing for poor farmers.
