Joaquin Cabral, no-one said it was a problem — just highlighting that it’s not necessarily the result of completely original thought. However, I doubt you have much info about this project or the Morgan house upon which to make your comments. At the Morgan House, the water tank reduces the need for mains water in a severaly drought-effected area and also reduces energy demand because of its inherent thermal mass. Sounds like a good prototype for housing in a post-carbon world. Or at least a tool for thinking more about climate problems. And it has actually been built!!!

I don´t get the problem of taking the idea of Morgan House, to use it… actually, it makes more sense to me used here than in the house

I wonder, if with scaling, a greater risk of evaporation might be incurred? Because the dew has to travel a longer way before it is trapped, which takes longer, during which the sun is higher, etc. Perhaps another precedent shape, that of Wright’s Johnson Wax Building, with umbrella-funnels linked together to make a composite shade covering/water collection system?
