International multidisciplinary cooperation is what we need to make our cities future proof. The ambition of this minor is imagining radical solutions and coming up with daring designs for a delimited area in a European City. Making booming cities resilient, needs real courage. Only great vision and creativity can lead to innovations that are able to make such cities future proof. Students have to come up with solutions and new ideas for dealing with excesses or shortages of water and water pollution while (re)designing for resilience. The project work involves a concrete design at different scales and levels: from urban design to an architectural object. The challenge is to use ‘Water as Leverage’ as a design concept for Cities.
The challenge is to use Water as Leverage. International partners in different disciplines are working on this project. Follow all the project news on this topic at dutchwatersector.com.
