Watertower x Hugon Kowalski

Hugon Kowalski is from Poland and this is his watertower skyscraper for Sudan. The conflict over water and land in Sudan has created political unrest for decades. In 2007 scientists from Boston University discovered an underground lake in the region of Darfur, Sudan. This lake is tenth biggest lake in the world and would have great potential in resolving the conflict if managed correctly. Polish firm H3AR architect and design recently proposed a building that allows access to underground waters through the application of water pumps The form of the building was inspired by a water tower and also by the symbol of the african savanna – the baobab. The building houses water pumps, a treatment plant but also a hospital, a school and a food storage center. Two water circulation processes would be in place for now.

Here are pictures of what they will look like.
