While water is a precious resource in the desert, it is often rejected by the urban fabric. Harnessing the missed opportunity of water collection in Phoenix, we propose a new prototype for the future of a city’s soft infrastructure, transforming it into a living system that is responsive, participatory, and cooperative. While still fulfilling the rigid programatic requirements of an emergency response location, the station works with the existing constraints of a developing city to conserve and extend the building’s lifespan. Water is the literal and figurative foundation for the future of firefighting.
