Water Journeys
for Vortex
Inspired by nature's water systems, Water Journeys is a set of four public game modules that connect to create a giant chain reaction of play. The water runs through channels and pools in which kids and adults can interact with a range of props to modify the flow. Since the game is embedded in the ground and plays with the flow of water (rather than sprays), everyone can enjoy the installation without getting fully wet.
Modular system
Water Journey is an all-in-one modular system that can be installed anywhere. The triangular slabs that make up each module are made of glass fiber reinforced cement (GFRP), a lightweight material typically used in the production of architectural panels. These modules can be connected together to create multiple layout configurations and to fit the needs and constraints of a given site. Thanks to this innovative use of GFRC, the system is strong, lightweight, and can be shipped worldwide at a reasonable price.
