This wastewater plant is already highly automated, and we wanted to visualize the automated production process through our design, which was our starting point. The oriental garden idea is our entry point to make this sewage plant a garden factory.

Water is the core of this project. In a traditional wastewater plant, water is a hidden flow line that is difficult to visualize. We visualize the equipment pipeline, the treated clean water is presented in the form of water channels, water gardens, waterfalls and other explicit flow lines, and the architectural space is analogously designed as pavilions, corridors, bridges and so on, so that you can roam around and observe the garden-like plant and have a deeper understanding of the changes and progress of the city’s environmental protection.
