Water Building Resort Concept – Orlando De Uruttia
Water Building Resort Concept – Orlando De Uruttia
The Water Building Resort, is a self-sustainable high-tech building of postmodern design by the architect Orlando De Uruttia. Architecturally and thematically designed in the shape of a falling drop of water, the Water Building Resort will be the first building ever to convert air into water with a combination of nature and technology: The facade of the building is designed to face the sun and is covered in photovoltaic glass, which not only lets light in but also effectively captures the sun's rays to be converted into solar power. The opposite side of the building uses a latticed design for ventilation and features unprecedented Water Micron equipment to convert humid air into pure drinking water.
Designed for construction along warm and humid coasts, the Water Building Resort will also house a water treatment facility for purifying sea and rainwater in the bottom floor. Water Micron's Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) each produce up to 5.000 liters of pure drinking water a day, supporting about 48 people using an average of 105 liters per person for all different measures. The AWGs work best in temperatures from 20 to 40 degree Celsius and humidity between 35% at 95%. The combinations of these water sources guarantee enough water throughout the building for all purposes.
