Public Drawing – Water Dynamics and Luvisol
- Waldlabor
- The concrete bridge acts as an invasive element, as it does not coexist with the ecosystem
of the “Waldlabor.” In this drawing, it also functions as a dividing feature, showcasing the
changing water networks during winter and summer.
- During heavy rainfall, trees channel
water into the sandstone-rich soil, releasing longer stored water in summer, which increases
the water quantity in the river, and in winter, when there is less rainfall, water levels drop,
revealing the Luvisol fertile soil that sustains new growth.
- In contrast, the concrete bridge,
when exposed to water over time, begins to deteriorate, as water infiltrates the concrete,
moistening the steel reinforcement, which leads to rust and, eventually, cracks in the
concrete.
