Jesse Verdoes
The second site has a linear character and is located at the crossing between a polluted river that flows into the agricultural fields and the highway, thus marking a point of transition. The ground is planted with trees as it is part of the greenifying plan along the highway.

In figure 19 one can see the washing machine that is developed to efficiently wash bodies according to the traditional stages of ablution. The process is organized in a linear way (fig. 21), similar to an automated carwash system.
