Oh I see.

Are you familiar with gardens By The Bay? Google it, you'll get a kick out of seeing their "trees"

Rob, this is a studio project of mine I did at Market Square in Knoxville, TN.

Is this Gardens By The Bay in Singapore?

Thanks for your comment Dan! Yes the structures are collecting water and filtered within the funnels to be used as irrigation for either ag. production or for vegetation on site. By collecting the 1" of runoff on-site we were able to reduce storm water runoff as well as filter it for improved quality. The funnels are perforated corten steel with glass tubing lining the inside for drainage into vegetated planters at the bottom of the funnels.

looks really cool, the structures are collecting water right is it filtered and re used for drinking or used to water plants and help slow down water run off? what material are they it looks like the water follows a tube on the inside? and is that vegetation growing on the outside ?
