UNDP 'WORLD WATERS' EMBASSY HQ
UNDP 'WORLD WATERS' EMBASSY HQ Namibia, Africa This embassy is a reaction to the environment surrounding it. The cooling / observation towers are inspired from local wildlife and serve a function as well. This local wildlife is very resilient with regards to the tough environment and so is this embassy. Here water is not on display for it is far too precious of a commodity to allow it to just evaporate for no good use. The embassy area above ground and below the cooling / observation towers is designed to capture any rainfall. The plaza area is covered with solar collecting fabric wired into the undergroud portion of the embassy to aid in powering the cooling system.
