WORKSHOP

Overflowing Potential: The Urban Water Challenge
10 - 15 June 2013

A workshop in collaboration with AXOR Hansgrohe and in the framework of the current programme Smart City: The Next Generation, Focus Southeast Asia by Aedes East e.V. with the Goethe Institutes in Southeast Asia.

Final Presentation

BACKGROUND
This collaboration with AXOR Hansgrohe was concerned with studies and realised projects on innovative ways to manage water and first of all sustainable and visionary projects, which lead to a rising awareness regarding water management. The participants engaged in an interdisciplinary dialogue about water as a factor in planning processes and the development of interior and product frameworks, resource management of water in the city and the house and the implications on design. This workshop connected experts, disciplines and important issues of change to explore new forms of water management concepts in different locations worldwide.

THEMES 

City and Governance: How can the legal and political framework interact with the design process in water scheme management and planning? Experts and participants will focus on the interdependency of the disciplines against the background of definitions and standards on a planning and operational level. We will also look into the direction in which these standards are currently developing.

Houses and Living in Autarchy: What new, innovative ideas are there for integrating water cycles and self-sufficiency into the home? Overlaps of technical, practical and design-based elements of the house will be investigated to arrive at unique and advanced solutions. The bathroom as interface can serve as the platform for awareness of life(style) whilst providing and recycling its own essentials.

Water as a Resource: Providing the world’s most valuable resource essential for human survival creates an ongoing challenge. Where do we place this responsibility and how can we find “smart” solutions for an equal distribution? We will also examine the role of design throughout the process of awareness and distribution.
