Design Challenge: Floods are natural phenomena. Their impact can come to devastate villages built in their path. The Usumacinta Observatory will be used to study the rises in the river, define infrastructural projects to contain floods and, at the same time, provide refuge for the affected population. The ARK should be a project that raises awareness about a reality that is as hazardous as is it inevitable. It is not foreseen that the water be retained by either dams or reservoirs.
