HYDROCity
Firm
Type
HYDROCITY is devoted to studying the
relationship between urban forms and the hydrological systems in which
they are embedded. If the twentieth century has been marked by our
global thirst for fuel, the twenty-first century, will be defined by
our collectively growing need for water. Impending water shortages are
changing patterns of urbanization and requiring increasingly elaborate
infrastructures by which to source, collect, divert and transport water
to the urban centres that hold a growing majority of the world’s
population. These population centres will in turn need to be redesigned
and retrofitted to conserve, collect, repurify, and recirculate
increasingly precious water resources while at the same time rethinking
and rebuilding their cities’ relationships with the complex watersheds
on which they are built and upon which they depend. The resulting
liquid infrastructure is poised to redefine our notion of natural and
artificial landscapes, as disparate ecological environments are
networked and conflated. What forms of urbanism and landscape systems
will emerge, and what design potentials exist, in this expanding liquid
infrastructure?
The results generated by HYDROCITY will include
equipping a new generation of architects, urban planners, and policy
makers with the conceptual frameworks and design tools they need to
advance water-friendly design, connecting a broad public with new ideas
and policy options, and providing policy makers with additional public
awareness and innovative ideas with which to advance sound water
policies.
