HEALING WITH THE GENTLEGRACE OF WATER

The Ministry of Water Treatment and Healthcare

In the distant future, a water-energy system will seamlessly integrate roofs, water tanks, pipes, and spherical hot springs, addressing both technological advancements and societal stability. Key innovations include seawater desalination, carbon capture, and water distribution to dry basins, all managed by advanced computing centers.

Architecturally, the design features three atriums dedicated to PTSD recovery, natural healing, and art therapy. The facade, composed of semi-transparent volumes with triangular and circular patterns, symbolizes the balance between surface calmness and underlying currents, reflecting ongoing climate and societal efforts.

Healing with the Gentle Grace of Water, Clear and Pure. Circa 2050.
