Reversed Tributary System: The logic of river basin; THE TEARDROP SHAPE: Fluid dynamics simulation on impact of flood water. Image courtesy of diji-lab. Urban Aggregation Evolution: a) formal simulation trial 01 b) formal simulation trial 02 c) formal simulation trial 03 d) typical american rectilinear north-south grid Block e) fluid dynamic optimized form applied as urban blocks g) Differentiated size to further slow down water speed and allow infiltration f) Blocks staggered to slow down water speed h) overlaying with transportation network.
