Headline: RAW VIDEO: Flyt 'Paving Slab Of The Future' Is Solution To Flooding
Caption: Norwegian design studio Snøhetta has introduced Flyt, a permeable paver system that is the future of drainage in urban areas worldwide. Comprising interlocking hexagonal pieces, Flyt is the brainchild of Snøhetta and has been commissioned by outdoor products supplier Asak. The initiative seeks to provide landscape architects, builders, and developers with a creative and user-friendly water management solution. This development is a response to the pressing need for solutions due to escalating extreme weather conditions globally. Flyt primarily targets urban landscapes that require expansive permeable areas, offering a sustainable approach to water management. Snøhetta is actively implementing Flyt installations globally, with recent installations in the Lillehammer Olympic Park and a school pick-up point in Arendal. The system consists of three types of interlocking hexagonal concrete pieces, laid over gravel to maintain permeability. In addition to its user-friendly and creative design, Flyt distinguishes itself by offering greater flexibility and adaptability to diverse landscapes, setting it apart from conventional paver systems, according to Snøhetta. As the world grapples with changing climate patterns, Flyt emerges as a promising solution to enhance urban water management.
