A variation of the design proposal of raised walkways would be the introduction of a water garden. The consideration is inspired by the precedent art biotop water garden of Junya Ishigami and Associates in Tochigi Japan (Publicdelievery.org). The project entails importing other trees to the square to create a dense forest. The trees are rearranged, and countless ponds are filled with water from an irrigation system that flows continuously at various rates. The ponds and the trees are spread across the northern side of the square (Figure 3.42).
