ICE IN THE DESERT

Project locationCairo, Egypt
University/SchoolNational Taiwan University of Science and Technology
Lead ArchitectChing-Teng LIN
Design TeamCheng-Ju LIU

The design is attempted to seek the possibility of water reuse in the swimming pool. The swimming pool is a facility with high water usage. Therefore, we try to take advantage of its high humidity. Through the Stack effect, water vapor goes up to the special-designed roof which can extract water from humid ambient air. In this way, we create a huge water recycling system of the building. Our design will be located in the city of the desert. It will not only help the residents to cool off their bodies but make better use of water resources in places that are hard to get water.
