Inspired by Italian architect Arturo Vittori's Warka tower, which captures humidity in the air and transforms it into drinking water. The ‘Kitai’, designed by the WaterForAll organisation (a grouping of several multinational companies), is a huge structure made of 1,000 pre-polymerised fabrics that use condensation to filter the water contained in the oceans to produce an inexhaustible source of drinking water.
Its shape, reminiscent of a stadium, is gigantic, and made up of solid ‘solidium’ sails that filter and purify the water.
The ‘workshop’, located 20 km off the coast of Scotland, is where the Kitai are manufactured. A huge scaffold is built around it, to protect the structure from the elements during the various Kitai design processes, including the crucial step of polymerising the Solidium.
The construction is carried out by around thirty drones, which are assigned exclusively to one kitai and will remain so thereafter for the maintenance of the structure.
The kitai are transported to their final location exclusively at night to avoid any problems with water vapour, which could disturb the drones. The low weight of the Kitai allows the drone to glide over the water thanks to the induction properties of solidium.
The arrival of the Kitai is always an event, as when the first model arrived above the clouds of pollution in Mumbai. What's more, the mixture of salt water and pure water on the surface of seas or oceans creates impressive clouds of vapour.
Although the Kitai itself as well as its transport and installation are offered by the organisation. The drones that ensure the Kitai's smooth operation and maintenance are subject to a very expensive rental contract. This marks the first blatant example of the sale of a universal natural resource...

Due to the simple volumetry of the building, the goal was to highlight the glass panels by reflecting different atmospheres.

Location: Japan

Very popular with Japanese fishermen, located off the coast of Shiraishi-Jima, this bay is cradled by a windy sea current which, once it has vibrated, causes a deep feeling of calmness. The sound pavilion, also known as the pavilion of a thousand sails, was originally created to soothe people in great pain. However, if one remains motionless for only 1 hour, the vibration caused by the sails offers an inaudible sound frequency but establishes a "reset" of the hearing.

Location: Scotland

It was a young shepherd who, while trying to recover a lost sheep, discovered this place. As he bent down to retrieve his sheep, he smelled the freshness of the grass and flowers again. The addition of rare phenomena, a constant atmospheric pressure, hydrometric and temperature all year round has made a unique grass grow that acts directly on our sensors. The lodge is located in the centre of this mountainous plain, it is simply a contemporary villa-like residence with an opening in the centre to let in the scents. It is necessary to sleep a whole night in order to provoke the "reset".
