Arturo Vittori - Amazing Italian Architect

Day 179 of My Italian Learning Journal*

_____________________

Arturo Vittori, an Italian architect, and industrial designer seeks to provide drinking water for rural communities in the developing parts of the world with his wooden Warka Water structures. The tower is made with a bamboo frame that supports a mesh polyester material inside. Rain, fog, and dew condenses against the mesh and falls down a funnel into a reservoir at the base. A fabric canopy shades the lower sections of the tower to prevent the collected water from evaporating. No machines are needed to build the tower. Below I have placed a link to the organization's website. (Next is a short script for practicing Italian -- grammar corrections are welcome.)
