Water Research Areas
By reducing the total number of waterways, we simplified the water system, creating a single main canal that flows in a downstream direction through the site and then branches into the quieter residential neighborhoods.
We bring the water system out of private neighborhoods and into the center of the site, running it through the research district, central neighborhood business district, and residential neighborhoods.
All water that enters the site moves first through our Research District, where it can be treated with various experimental natural and mechanical methods to ensure high-quality water is running through the rest of the site.
