The method, plainly
Nature wastes nothing; every output is another system's input. A self-cyclable building is designed to imitate that - to catch its water, reuse it, and return its waste as nourishment.
It is the idea at the heart of CHAYP: a habitat that sustains itself, and in doing so asks less of the river, the grid and the land around it.
Why we reach for it
Rainwater capture for much of annual demand (indicative)

And we will say honestly whether self-cyclable systems belongs there.
