This studio was preceded by a comparative study of fluvial typologies with emphasis on access and transportation, water systems, and techniques. New concepts of these typologies for the contemporary city were adapted on the project site in France, reconnecting the inhabitants’ of Greater Angers with the River Maine, where the city is inundated at least three times a year. Our project analyzes self-cleaning and self-regenerating systems, water flow and dynamics, waste, and purification methods. The proposed solution allows the river to maintain flexibility while making visible the natural hydrological cycles of water purification.
