TEXT_How should one design a new sustainable district on the site of a former water treatment works?
The response from the team is the result of a period of reflection upon urban design, architectural and landscape issues focusing on sustainability at every state of the project.
The core of the project is the proposal of a “new type of urban living” which addresses the use of renewable energy and the recuperation of rainwater, seeks to rationalise parking and emphasises soft modes of transport.
