WATER RESOURCES ARE INTRINSICALLY LINKED TO HUMAN SUSTAINABILITY. THESE DRAWINGS EXPLORE THE LIMITS OF OUR POTENTIAL TO HARVEST WATER BY DEFYING CONVENTIONAL LIMITATION. 

“BUILDING = LIVING MACHINE” IS AN EXPLORATION OF BUILDING POTENTIAL. BUILDING WALLS CAPTURE AND HARVEST RAINWATER, WHICH IS THEN FILTERED THROUGH VEGETATIVE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. WATER STORED IN BUILDING WALLS PROVIDES THERMAL MASS THUS SUPPORTING PASSIVE HVAC SYSTEMS.

“LIFE ON WATER” IS AN IMAGINARY UTOPIA WHICH SEEKS CONGRUITY BETWEEN BUILT FORM, ADAPTIVE ECOLOGY AND WATER. VEGETATIVE PONTOON PROVIDE PLATFORMS FOR HUMAN HABITATION.

“[WATER] PARK” EXPLORES ALTERNATIVE REALITY. IN A HAZY  WORLD WITHOUT TREES, COUPLES ENJOY A DAY IN THE PARK. IN THE FOREGROUND, LARGE HARVESTING TOWERS CAPTURE, HARVEST AND FILTRATE POLLUTED RAINWATER.
