MUTUALISM
The latest report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) stated that about 4.5 billion people worldwide do not have access to safe basic sanitation. In terms of drinking water, there are still 2.1 billion people worldwide with an absence of piped and treated water. That means 3 out of 10 people. That figure includes 263 million people who need to spend more than 30 minutes per trip to collect water from sources far from home. Also, 159 million who still drink untreated water from surface sources, such as streams and lakes. Every year, 360,000 children die from diarrhea in the world. This means that diarrhea takes more victims than AIDS, malaria and measles combined. In addition, this scenario contributes to the spread of diseases such as cholera, dysentery, hepatitis A and typhoid. The situation of basic sanitation in the world is something far from ideal, currently there are approximately 2.4 billion people in the world living without basic services of water treatment and sewage collection. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) show that 7 people in 10 live without adequate sanitation. The lack of these services exposes the population to various health risks, among other areas most affected, such as: education and mainly the development of a country, both in social and economic matters. The project welcomes those who come from the street and functions as large covered squares, which distribute flows, where the user runs through successive plans at different levels, alternating open and closed spaces, thus connecting all skyscraper environments: living spaces, relaxation, contemplation, exposure and connection. Combining these functions with a large metallic silo that has the function of treating all the water used by the community.
