It was a bland gray city with boring buildings and repetitive city blocks, polluted air and an old dirty highway cuts through it all.

A single water droplet falls from the sky and changes it all forever! All of a sudden a city explodes with nature, colors, freshness, sustainability and joy! A single water droplet creates a huge water splash with a beautiful water crown, waves and vortex. Water continue rushing onward from the epicenter – splashing all over the place, creating massive lakes with jumping droplets, canals, fountains and rainbows. Nature is reborn! Thousands of trees, endless grassy lands with beautiful flowers, flora and fauna flourish again. Nature, freshness and clean air returns to the city.

A huge city renovation and reimagining project with a purpose to bring nature back to the city and to bring civilization back to the nature.

A water splash creates a spectacular building, all the beautiful liquid forms are frozen in time: a water crown with a vortex inside and waves that rush outward. The water splash building is further divided with a Yin Yang design: creating a warm and calm turquoise water area on one side and a rough cold and restless waters with the frozen glaciers on the other. A huge vortex in the middle that mixes and fuses different waters together. A green island on the roof on one side and a huge hot fountain on the opposite side add to the Yin Yang design philosophy.

The water splash is so powerful that it deforms the land, creates new hills around it, wiping the grayness of the city, distorting and removing the old polluted highway. The hills are used for hiking with glass bridges connect everything together, also there are underground entertainment areas beneath the hills.

Countless of smaller water droplets were created from the splash, exploding onward and creating a lot of lakes around, some lakes with their own smaller droplets in the middle that can be used as residential, financial and entertainment zones. The whole area is interconnected with a maze of water canals so people can move around by land and by water. You can even travel using small water droplets that hover over the rainbow!

An old highway wasn't removed from the project, it was naturally incorporated into it, left as a reminder of the past. It was a pollution vein before and it provides shade and freshness now with handing gardens on the columns and solar panels on top. The hanging gardens are created in a way – so everyone who is entering or leaving the area sees a nice picture of a heart, sun, smiley face created with a perspective painting technique.

There are two massive spheres on the sides of the park: a blazing sun and a frozen moon, they further emphasize the Yin Yang design.

Numbers:

Water splash building is 500m in diameter and 130m high. Res/fin/entertainment.

Four smaller 40m diameter spheres. Res/fin/entertainment.

Three bigger 100m diameter spheres. Res/fin/entertainment.

A sun and a moon spheres approx. 100m in diameter. Res/fin/entertainment.

Thousands of square meters underground for parking, financial and entertainment areas.

The whole area is 2000m in diameter, a circular park with dozens of kilometers for hiking and water related activities.

Dozens of lakes interconnected with canals into the vast water surface.

40 000 trees in a middle of a city with rough estimation of: absorbing around 870 000kg of carbon dioxide per year, creating enough clean oxygen for around 80 000 people!

Vast grassy fields with millions of flowers.

A natural habitat for 1000s species of flora and fauna.
