How does our understanding of infrastructure change when we experience it within a natural landscape? This question may allow for an exploration of ways in how to blur the line between infrastructure and nature. Infrastructure can be redefined as it merges with the nonuniformity of nature. Currently, the site is split into two zones, the first being a garden and the second being the machinery. With intricate design techniques, the water plant can drift away from a basic infrastructural building and become an environment with hybridized forms of technology that are seamlessly integrated within the design of the landscape. These features allow us to reimagine infrastructure through the unique experiences it can create.
