Acqua viva

The Acqua Viva system is only a concept now, but was designed to serve as a stunning and aesthetically appealing yet practical design to collect rainwater. The system can conveniently be hung next to apartment dwellers’ balconies to help reduce stormwater runoff.

The Acqua Viva rainwater collection system is made up of a series of spiraling Flowforms that collect rainwater and send it into storage vessels. The terracotta flowforms and vessels are designed to be hung on a series of cables, where they capture rooftop runoff and allow water to cascade down through each form. Flowforms encourage the water to act in a natural way, spiraling and falling into beautiful egg-shaped vessels. The water is stored for use to water nearby plants and can be accessed via a spout at the bottom. When there is too much water for the vessel, water spills out over the top and flows down through more flowforms and into the next vessel.

Love the zen like look of Acqua Viva. This by itself can persuade anyone to turn eco !:)
