Urban Water A New Layer In The City Landscape

Urban Water A New Layer in the City Landscape tries to give an answer to this rather difficult question.

The purified water from the living machines becomes a new element in the urban fabric. It gives the possibility for the creation of new activated landscapes, which not only reuse the purified water, but also interact with the existing context and allow a more vibrant neighborhood and city life.

In order to achieve that, I chose a small test area to reveal the potential and possibilities of my idea.
