The functions

Which primary function do we need?

About the topic of water, which primary function, do we need in our bulding?
We have collected 4 most significant function:
1. Gathering water: the first our goal is to drain rain water in order to reuse it.
2. Treat water: for drinking or for using water you have to purify it
3. Deliver: we have to create a system of conduits to deliver water in each part of the building
4. Cooling/heating: to regulate the temperature we need a system that furnish us both cold and hot water for the well-being of the people

All of these function can be summarized into a concept of self-sufficient building. In this case the building fluctuates up the ocean, but here in Delft we don’t have ocean for collecting water, thus we want to use rain and underground water like trees do.
