Rain Collecting System

I wanted to give purpose to my current purely aesthetic facade members. An idea I came up with was since they are extruding out past the building envelope, it would give me a good surface area that I could use to collect rain water with. The rain water collected would be gravity fed to a below grade reservoir, where it would be stored to supply the sprinkler system on the urban roof park.

Tackling Some Problems

Progress

 I've been spending some time on learning the required height and depth to create this lawn/park area going up to the pavilion of the building. I have been looking at how the Hypar Pavilion at Lincoln Center was designed and problems they faced and how the tackled them. I have also been looking at how to structurally design a series of cantilevered pools, both at the gym and then again the community pool at the top of the pavilion.

My next step would be to design the facade and how to create these pockets where the inside comes out and becomes outdoor space. This would be happening at the Gyms pool that is cantilevering and then again above the market to the open seating eating area.
