The environs of a dismantled tobacco factory have been reconditioned as a green expanse of land that serves as much to accumulate rainwater during the typhoon season as to curb flooding.
The pattern of paths and resting spots is based on traditional irrigation know-how, harnessing the way pools and canals are able to divert and drain excess moisture in areas with plenty of groundwater.
