In today's world, urbanisation and climate change have led to increased stormwater runoff. Traditional stormwater management systems, such as pipes and drains, are often inadequate and can lead to pollution, erosion, and flooding. Rain gardens, also known as bioretention systems, offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution for managing stormwater runoff while providing numerous benefits to

When planning a new development, redeveloping a water canal might sound like an unusual place to start. Broparken is a technical stormwater system, disguised as an attractive urban social space, transforming a characterless stretch of land into a much-loved public park. Setting the scene for living Broparken is the first project in a new urban […]

During the summer season walking in the UIQ park, I realized that the pond/wetland in UIQ research park is the most enjoyable and relaxing area on-site. My project intends to re-introduce the helpful stormwater management methods to the UIQ park areas. By doing so, the project would get inspiration ideas from the existing constructed wetland since it is one of the major supporting elements on-site. Moreover, the project would visualize the process of stormwater management on-site to fulfill educational purposes and create a meaningful sense of place through the research park area for both wildlife and surrounding residents. Ultimately, the project would integrate elements of landscape design to the wetland area for better function in the winter season.

The Eastside Trail is the first constructed segment of the Atlanta BeltLine, an adaptive reuse of a 22-mile corridor of abandoned railroad right-of-way that once served thriving industry at the city’s interior. The BeltLine will eventually connect 45 neighborhoods through transit, trails, and open space. The Eastside Trail is currently the only built segment of this transformative project, consisting of 2.25 miles of multi-use trails and a future light rail transit line. This segment has catalyzed urban redevelopment along the immediate edges of the trail.

The Taft Residence in Portland is a 3,930-square-foot, systemized residence crafted using a prefabricated modular system named HOMB. Comprising 28 triangular modules, the house was shipped, assembled on-site in a day, and features an energy-efficient, customizable design with insulation, solar arrays, and stormwater management.

These houses look like they're straight from a fairy tale.
