Shivam Takulia and Anya Ghosh's proposal to create "water-positive" buildings that harvest water from the air is the next finalist project in Dezeen's Redesign the World competition powered by Twinmotion.

Called Aquatech, Takulia and Ghosh's project imagines a future where there is an acute water shortage in many parts of the world.

Their proposed solution is to build cities of fog-harvesting buildings to produce water from the air, which would be interlinked by a network of waterways.

These waterways would be surrounded by wetlands and marshlands to enhance the health of the surrounding ecology.

The buildings would be designed "inside-out", with services that are usually concealed pushed to the exterior of the buildings in order to maximise internal space.
The buildings would be clad in pipes to disseminate water over the facade of each building, which would assist in controlling the building's temperature and offer optimal thermal comfort for the inhabitants.

Redesign the World is the ultimate design competition, which called for new ideas to rethink planet Earth to ensure that it remains habitable long into the future.

Launched in partnership with Epic Games, the contest asked entrants to visualise their concepts using architectural visualisation software Twinmotion.
