In highly populated and dense areas in city centers, amenities for the public benefit tend to be deprioritized due to high property values. It is difficult for city dwellers to experience nature in their daily lives and people often travel great distances to find wilderness. The intention of the project is to implant a natural setting within the brutal concrete jungle in order to create a refreshing urban amenity.
The installation consists of a waterfall off the top of a building. By casting a waterfall from the top, people can take a rest inside the actual installation and feel and watch the water drop while looking out. The water’s downward movement allows it to interact with multiple settings of this project. The motion generates waterfalls, healing saunas, water screens, streams, wetlands and mud ponds. Because water permeates the site and takes on many roles, through its circulations form follows function.
This Installation could be implanted in different leftover spaces in urban environments such as deserted parking lots, dead space under massive infrastructure, and dark spaces in between high-rise.
