"The project addresses ecological fragmentation, disrupted water systems, and climate vulnerability by re-sourcing natural and territorial systems as key drivers of urban resilience. It re-sources through nature by restoring water and green networks, through society by transforming urban voids into shared public spaces, and through materiality by using nature-based, low-impact solutions."
