Living Catchment

Designed as a rain-harvesting landscape intervention for Bolm Park, this project integrates sculptural canopies and robotically extruded clay columns into a distributed hydrological system. Each element collects and channels rainfall to support cooling, irrigation, and shaded public use. At night, Living Catchment becomes an outdoor movie theater, where residents can enjoy daily life along environmental infrastructure.
