TERRACED WETLAND TREATMENT SYSTEM

In collaboration with the 4th International Rotterdam Biennale, the Municipality of Sao Paulo, Brazil initiated an upgrade program to provide infrastructure, public services, and housing in the sustainable development of Paraisopolis, one of the largest informal settlements in Sao Paulo.

eDesign Dynamics currently serves as the hydrology engineering consultant to the multi-disciplinary design practice, Urban Think Tank.

In tandem with Urban Think Tank, eDesign Dynamics is in the process of designing terraced subsurface flow wetlands that both filter greywater and stormwater and provide an irrigation source for the proposed stepped grass amphitheater.
