Theunrestrained growth of cities in developing countries is hard to manage ordesign.
In thiscity, ponds are essential for the spatial structure and quality. But the lossof functions of these ponds, like fishing and washing, makes them literallysilt and disappear.
This projectaims to provide a basic spatial quality in developing residential areas byconstructing a purification plant in the form of a connected series of ponds.
Bydesigning the ponds as a network rather than a cluster, a functional green/bluestructure appears trough the whole neighborhood.
