WATER REFILL POINTS
Project in collaboration with Isla Urbana. There are fewer and fewer water refill points in the territory due to the excessive and unplanned growth of Mexico City, imposing concrete and asphalt plates on the lake territory that used to exist in the basin. In the same way, the flora and fauna have been displaced from the city or minimized within it due to the reduction of their habitat and the deprivation of vital resources such as food and water.
The project seeks to think of ways to give back to nature, return the vital resource of water to the territory and rehabilitate systems of abundance. To this end, replenishment points were developed for the flora, fauna, people and territory of the city expressed in rainwater collectors, terrace systems, filtration points and cleaning systems.
GABÄ
Alejandra Arano, Rebeca Juárez, Paula Mancilla, Sebastían Villa and Fernanda Jiménez
GABÄ facilitates the absorption and retention of water through a redesigned gabion; which will help stop the strong flow of water when it rains and thus avoid excessive crowding, reducing flooding in the park and nearby streets.
By means of volcanic stone and moss it is possible to achieve a greater absorption of water, filtering and storing it in small quantities as well as releasing it progressively and as the environment needs it, helping the regeneration of ecosystems.
CICLO
Daniela Spíndola, Karen Hernández, Salvador Espinosa and Francisco Garduño
Clico is a rainwater catchment, harvesting and collection system designed to address two fundamental objectives: the rehabilitation of the flora and fauna of ecosystems affected by urbanization and the redirection of water to the subsoil.
Ciclo’s subsoil water redirection system is based on a subway filter that connects directly to the ground, allowing water infiltration.
PUNTO
Sebastián Arroyo, Paola Zarate, Brenda Lee and Miguel Arenas
Punto, it is a self-maintaining planter that works by collecting rainwater.
This system is designed for highly urbanized areas with the purpose of encouraging the development of green areas through pollinators.
