The concept, SED – Water Factory, responds to the scenario of the breakdown of the global system based on the trajectory of current ecological, economic and social crises. It then questions the role of architecture in this kind of future. As its basis, the project depicts a positive turnaround with the beginning of a new cycle – beginning with action, evolution and innovation, reaching for a more sustainable architecture. As a key subject, the issue of water supply is elucidated and the use of environmentally-friendly desalination plants based on natural methods is explored.
