This meeting on water aims to share traditional systems and innovations that can help our cities adapt to a new climate situation. Without large investments, recycling what already exists and fragmenting solutions into projects that can be assumed by all. Allowing that, from the smallest scale, we are able to use water optimally and always in our favor.
The responsive city:
between flood and drought
This requires, on the one hand, the generation of new evacuation systems that free the built spaces of water concentrations. On the other hand, water becomes a long-awaited resource for months that, upon arrival, we have no possibility of retaining.
There is a possibility to consider flooding as an opportunity. That of solving both problems with a single strategy, evacuation coupled with retention. Systems capable of eliminating the problem of flooding with large evacuation capacity, and fragmented storage capacity that creates emergency water supply systems in times of drought close to the points of consumption.
Water suply and natural cooling
Water heritage
The study of heritage, in which water moves thanks to inventiveness and the force of gravity, can help us to create systems that are sustainable over time. And to free them from dependence on energy systems.
