hybrid ecologies: layered urban functionality

proposal

river becomes remediating infrustructure public park waste treatment plant at mouth of river public park

algae farms in lake aquatic habitate

can layered functions produce urban spaces which are both socially constructive and infrustrucurally productive?

Whats happens when opened ended systems are introduced into the architectural process?
