UPSIDE DOWN

Our assignment for this semester was Double landscape, as in the landscape on the surface and underground. The purpose was to create concentrated landscapes that address different themes related to the future of cities. Such a highly concentrated landscape, should address the problems of Prague in 2100. First we had to create an idea and then look for a site where we could place it. We did several exercises focused on trees, imagining their form, how they interact with their environment. That led me to an idea: what if I used the tree not just as a symbol, but as a system, a model for water movement, absorption, and purification? But, what would happen if that system were inverted, upside down? It could serve as an underground water reservoir?
