Details
The Vessel Type is a climate-responsive architectural typology. It collects, filters, and stores rainwater while serving as a communal and cultural space. Addressing the impacts of seasonal droughts and floods, it supports agriculture and social equity. Using local materials and adaptable construction methods, the design is replicable across regions, forming a resilient network that sustains ecological cycles and strengthens community life.
