Large terracotta jars called amphorae were made throughout antiquity to carry liquids, principally wine and olive oil. Amphorae have a distinctive, practical shape: usually a narrow neck that could be sealed during transportation, two handles for ease of lifting and carrying, and a rounded or cylindrical body with a pointed base to allow them to be stacked in rows. Amphorae remained in use until the Middle Ages when they were replaced with skins and wooden casks. Wall, left to right: Terracotta Greek, Rhodian, Hellenistic 3rd-2nd century B.C.

Amphorae is a system of ecologically sensitive concrete elements that can be used for the collection, filtration and redistribution of water. These units not only hold water, but they also have smaller pockets with space to grow various forms of plant life that are fed by the individual cisterns. The project is meant to be far more than simply a structural wall; it is a vertical garden that can be reconfigured and installed anywhere.An integral drainage system connecting the blocks, allows rainwater to cascade from unit to unit and from plant to plant.
