Living with Water: Visions of a Flooded Future
Posted by: admin in Aquapocalypse, FloodingLiving with Water: Visions of a Flooded Future
The latest Building Futures report, “Living with Water: Visions of a flooded future”, has been published.
As part of the RIBA’s combating climate change programme, Living with Water brings together five essays from a range of professionals and futurologists. They each explore our evolving relationship with water, the architectural responses to increasing flood risk, and highlight the emerging opportunity to inject long-term vision and imagination into the development of the Thames Gateway.
Our development horizon is stretching further into the future than ever before, largely in response to the challenges of climate change. This publication asks: what are the benefits and opportunities of such a long term vision, and what must be start now to ensure our future communities take full advantage? The report is a collection of thoughts and propositions from a range of commentators, exploring our dynamic relationship with water in the Thames Gateway, looking to the future opportunities and threats that will exist in a world more at risk of flooding, and attempting to uncover what this means for development in the region today.
