The project re-imagines the interaction of the town of Catemaco with the lake, allowing the town to improve its economy by taking advantage of and caring for its natural environment.

As has been learned over the centuries, nature can teach us how to counteract the secondary effects caused by human activity. Catemaco Floating Urban Development proposes a series of natural processes that lead to the purification of the coast, imitating the wetland system for the filtration of water into the lake and the elimination of excess contaminants with natural purification systems.
