Project
Pressure pushes water up through the earth; where it breaks the surface, life appears; when the energy is spent, the water settles into reflection. In his third iteration he proposes an organic steel structure with reflective glass surfaces, hanging-garden planting and, at its centre, thick overlapping glass slabs that express pressure.
