At a Glance
Rain gardens lie below the level of their surroundings, designed to absorb stormwater runoff and mitigate flooding while filtering pollutants from urban water systems.
In this concept, VERDANT challenges the typical utilitarian vision for rain gardens, reimagining these essential infrastructure elements as vibrant communal spaces. This design seamlessly weaves together environmental stewardship with human connection, creating a living classroom where visitors can observe seasonal changes and the relationship between urban development and natural water cycles.
The space serves as a contemplative walking path during dry periods, a dynamic water feature during storms, and a year-round gathering place that strengthens community bonds. As residents interact with this evolving landscape, they experience firsthand how thoughtful design can turn necessity into beauty, creating deeper connections to both their environment and each other.
