FOR A FULL OVERVIEW OF THE DESIGN PROJECT FOLLOW THE DENVER INFORMAL SETTLEMENT LINK.
The construction part of this project called for us to identify a problem on site and design and detail a hybrid solution for the problem.
In our Pair my partner and I decided to redesign the water points that is the main problem of the muddy/ unusable roads in the settlement.
Our main plan was to get the water off site as fast as possible.
This called for a different look at conventional site drains as they will get clogged with rubbish and will need to be cleaned. We found a new type of concrete that can take up to a 1000 L of water per sq per minute. (Hydromedia)
The water points is the main gathering space of the community as well as they are located at points were people need to pass by to exit the community. This made it a ideal location for rubbish collection
At the water points we added in rubbish bins as well as a information board where the fire department/ health department can add notices.
