The first drawing shows the axonometric view of the project. It shows clearly the starting point and the exit point.

The second drawing shows mass version of the water movement + upper path leading people from visualizing water to sensational experiencing.

The third drawing (next to) shows mass version of people movement underground.

Starting the journey from a high point and getting introduced by the sound of water, people either choose to go underground and follow the sound or take this path to have visual of the flowing water.

Instead of choosing the 1st way, people could follow the sound of water to keep going underground to experience the site. The view was taken at the lowest location of the project.

The view was taken at the exit . After experiencing the ground and water, people find the way out to complete the journey.

The path is shaded by the upper path at the first perspective.
