Dear Class,
Please read this blog post about the concept of Urban Metabolism. Thinking of a system of a series of flows and exchanges of waste.
This is quite important as it is the definition of what we are trying to understand in the studio; the wetlands not as a SEPARATE component of the city but as a COMBINED element to consider as part of a system.

Read this and google the term 'urban metabolism' to help you understand this better. We can discuss it further in studio.
Best wishes,
Killian
