Three water collection systems—a bioswale, an aqueduct, and a series of folded roof forms—enable an architecture that can not only preserve local ecosystems, but encourage the growth of new symbiotic relationships between humans and ecological co-inhabitants. Each year, native species nurtured in greenhouses will be planted by the community. In this way, humans can actively engage in the wetland’s growth, sowing the seeds for future stewardship.

In 20 years time, what relationships will flourish?
