Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.
Only 3% of the world's water is freshwater
SITE OBSERVATION
2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services
PROJECT ISSUE
In several countries clean water is no longer a major issue and some even have better tap water than bottled water. However, most of the countries are still struggling for the provision of safe drinking water. Due to inaccessible access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene it could increase the number of deaths as is also stated on one of the indicators in the UN SDG 3. Such supporting issues to the problem include poor and inadequate water supply infrastructure, lack of resources and staffing, inadequate catchment monitoring, and the effect of competing land uses. As currently, the world is facing the biggest problem with water which is water contamination and lack of treatment, and irregular distribution of water resources. Some of the issues are also happening domestically.

and Water aimed to create a survival water center where it provides the easiest way of rainwater filtration space as rainwater is one of the purest water and one of the easiest to filter. and Water is made to achieve universal health coverage and provide access to safe and effective pure water, drinking water & water, it’s also to promote a different kind of ways of turning high chemical water into pure water/water in the simplest and easiest way. This target is being set as it is as well being targeted by the UN SDG by 2030, by creating this space it’s also creating awareness and reducing the major concern on the most country. Space provides a collection of groundwater types, an exhibition area, and a liquid cafe which is a water filter cafe. and Water is purposely made for the society as it’s to educate them about water filtration in a difficult situation as such experiments will be shown. Knowing not only to educate but let the society try and invent ideas in a certain section of the area underwater filtration by providing a liquid workshop. A chance is given to the society to be part of the UN SDG 3 Good health and well-being to be part of their awareness not only in a short term but in a long term.

no particular space/room due to the limitations of the space, however space “needs” will be applied through the floor & wall. As part of the concept being applied to the design “LUNGS” as a concept is also being applied through the layout plan. Layout Plan is being divided into 7 parts to follow the part of human lung, however shapes has been modified
LUNGS - concept
Every cell of the body needs oxygen to stay alive & healthy. Center of breathing system and Center of the breathing system. While “Lungs” is related to h2o, Deliver oxygen throughout the body, and Needs of living & healthy life.
• What lungs do to your body is how water fo to your body
• The unbalance shape of lungs represent unbalance shape of water (water current)
• The bronchus inside represent water chemicals
Air temperature and urban heat islands, improving air quality, decreasing air pollution and carbon sequestration, noise reduction, and cleaning up contaminants.
Increase water, material efficiency, as well as improve maintenance of the structures from environmental elements. Green architecture can help to improve air quality within, and outside, the structures.
use natural light to make spaces appear larger, illuminate an interior structure, and increase the beauty of a space.
The area is specifically designed to be apart and stand-alone structure, as based on the concept itself the design plan is reflecting human lungs. Despite the structure being apart, a link and connection in between design are being applied through the rooftop garden. Space provides a center point act as a focal point of the space as well.
SITE axo & divider
The first stage of the space divider indicates the focal point of the area. It is also where the main entrance and back entrance meet. Location of the stairs up to the first floor, It is to make sure the user flow did not clash and did not disturb the activity going on in the surrounding area.
The second stage of the divider to indicate the bridge that is in term of the rooftop garden and in use to connect the area surrounding and to make sure despite its space separation flow is still applied
The third stage indicates the main attraction of the area which are liquid cafe and water filtration area, each individual structure is being design separately to make sure the user receives a different ambiance, effect, and impact.
The fourth stage to indicate the GF area, other than the liquid cafe and water filtration, eco lab, and the liquid library is being provided for private use. It is purposely made for the maintenance and private workshop to the users and to separate them from the public users.
