PARTI - The "decision" here comes from the sun facing facade. I'm hoping that I might be able to combine my Living Machine system with a hanging green wall. This would allow me to utilize that whole facade to clean the water that runs trough the building. Am hoping that in part, the water without solids would be possible to run through a "hanging garden."
SYSTEMS - I've tried to located two of the major components of my system. The cells that process the water and the tanks that store the water in its initial stage. The two tanks at the bottom are hidden under grade/stairs. This would allow for the extraction of the solids from the building through that side. The two tanks above are for showers. Which have significantly less solids than the other parts of the black water..

1. From the model it's hard to tell if you are concentrating the living machine at the exterior, or if you intend the plants to extent through the buidling. The polygal suggests a dense glazing that may not let much light through. It also is largely applied to the exterior with conventionial floor plates behind. How could this involute into the building and begin to shape space?
2. You are showing the tanks as solid blocks, distributed but largely tucked away. How can these engage the conventional floor plates of the rest of the building?
3. Please diagram all of the connections of your system. Where does water enter the system, where does it exit? How are the different tanks connected?
