该基地的创新计划和设计去年赢得了美国社会景观建筑师荣誉奖章。几个世纪以来，小溪和山泉像蜘蛛脉一样穿越旧金山的土地，其中大部分已经被填平，但是水必须引向其他的地方。一幢房子在1930年建造在一个斜度为30米的地上，一汪地下的泉水每天要涌出0.45立方米的水，以此来宣告自己的存在。你会拿这些水怎么办呢？对于旧金山Bionic 景观事务所来说，答案是显而易见的，利用基地的自然标高去获得清水并且将他们用在花园中。美国景观设计师协会指出，这个项目面临了分布广泛的城市水抑制系统的挑战。许多城市都像旧金山一样沿着水文系统铺设管道，这样做的好处是可以提供一个不断发展和致密化的城市。从花园甲板上的木板路看去，很容易就能看到水流路径：水经过水槽进入盆地中，然后继续往低处流，最后流向位于基地边缘最低处的湿地。Bionic景观事务所利用自然标高让水往低处流，设计了具有小河、盆地和湿地的一整套系统，旨在获得每日从地底涌出的0.45立方米的水。

For centuries， little brooks and springs ran like spider veins through the land in San Francisco. Most have been paved over. But the water has to go somewhere. In a house built in 1930 on a sloping 100-foot-deep lot， an underground spring announced itself by emerging from the foundation to produce 100 gallons a day. What do you do with all that water? For San Francisco-based Bionic Landscape， the answer was obvious: use the natural elevation of the site to capture the water and recycle it， to use in the garden. The innovative site plan and design won an Honor Award last year from the American Society of Landscape Architects. "This project challenges the widespread convention of suppressing urban water systems. " the American Society of Landscape Architects noted. "Like many cities San Francisco has paved and piped its hydrology away along with the benefits that it could offer an ever growing and densifying city. While it is a small site， and a relatively small amount of water， this project demonstrates the life enabling possibilities of inventive design in combination with urban waters." From a deck above the boardwalk， it's easy to see the path the water travels: it runs down a rain chain (L) into a basin， and then flows downhill through wetlands to be captured at the edge of the backyard at the site's lowest elevation. Using the natural elevation to encourage water to run downhill， Bionic Landscape designed a system of runnels， basins， and wetlands to re-capture 100 gallons a day.
