The average U.S. urban population uses five times as much water as the developing world, and such growth is linked to improved living standards, while the Danes routinely collect rainwater for washing clothes and watering plants. In the past 10 years, their average water consumption has dropped by 40%, so much so that they are called eco-villages. Titled the "Rainwater Harvesting" Eco-Skyscraper, the scheme was designed by architecture students Ryszard Rychlicki and Agnieszka Nowak from Poland.
The top and shell of the "rainwater harvesting" skyscraper are equipped with systematic drainage facilities, with the purpose of "capturing" as much rain as possible to meet the building's own daily water demand. The building averages about 150 liters of water per person per day, of which 85 liters will likely be replaced by rainwater. From this point of view, they decided to design a building that collects and treats as much rainwater as possible, and supplies the collected water to the building's users. Plants have been masters of rainwater harvesting and treatment systems for thousands of years, a system that helps them deal with their own water shortages and surpluses.
Similarly, Rychlicki and Nowak attempted to refer to the structural principles of plants for rainwater harvesting and treatment. At the beginning of the design, the building has always paid attention to the shape and top shape, so as to collect enough rainwater first. In the center of the building is a huge funnel-shaped reservoir and reed treatment area, where the collected water is treated into usable water, and then transported to various areas through the transmission water network. The building collects rainwater that flows through the sides of the building through a drainage system on the outer surface. This rainwater is transported to the pipes under the slab and stored. The rainwater treated by the building can be used for household equipment such as toilets, washing machines, plant watering, and floor cleaning.
