Submersible Garden in Tours
Submersible Garden
Concept: The riverbank design evolves with rainfall, creating a changing landscape; the form is either structured or natural during storms. This area serves as a flood expansion and stormwater retention zone (800 m³ for a 50-year flood event) and will allow for the reintroduction of native flora and fauna. Studies by ANMA (FC AILLET), construction monitoring by OPC Paysage: Sempervirens
