Water Purification Skyscraper in Jakarta

Water Purification Skyscraper in Jakarta by Rezza Rahdian, Erwin Setiawan, Ayu Diah Shanti and Leonardus Chrisnantyo won second place in the 2010 Skyscraper International Competition. Their winning project successfully explores the possibilities of architecture in rehabilitating the urban condition and its environment. Jakarta is known for its numerous environmental problems such as growing slum areas, heavy air pollution, garbage-clogged rivers and floods. Water Purification Skyscraper was envisioned as part of the Ciliwung Recovery Program (CRP) in dealing with garbage collection along Ciliwung’s riverbank and “purify(ing) its water through an ingenious system of mega-filters”.
