Hydroponic Amenities Center

Continuing the investigations of the Envisioned City, this project deals with the site in a way that reflects the envisioned city as well as the immediate context. It seeks to make the block more permeable for pedestrians and aims to have a positive environmental impact on the surrounding area, especially regarding water management and by transforming the adjacent park into a natural wetland. The roof system is the highlight of the project. It consists of stepped hydroponic modules which house plants and allow water to be pumped through them. These modules also form the roof of the building, and can be walked on for maintenance of the hydroponics. The project is about accessibility, a permeable city as well as celebrating water and educating the public about water management.
