Connected Vessels

This project explores the idea of water systems connecting through a network of vessels. Water moves through the site in an open loop; it is collected and directed into a cleansing system on site which purifies it on one side and releases it on the other. Through this process the water maintains its equilibrium and provides a lively environment.

Museorial of Water

Museorial is a space designed as a journey of the sequential unfolding of experiential aspects of water through the built environment. This unfolding would inform and make one remember about the qualitative aspects of water through built. Hence, it derives the name from Memorial - 'make us remember' about water, and Museum - to ‘interpret that for education'
