ON WATER AND DESIGN
Facing the (re)emergence of water-related questions in both the disciplinary debate and the broader social discourse, 
the session aims to bridge theoretical and practical perspectives on water in urban and territorial design. It will focus on water’s potential to become a territorial agent of transformation of design practices to drive equitable urban development in the time of socio-ecological Transition. 

Ranging from the political, environmental, cultural, and technical implications of the paradigm shift regarding water, Kelly Shannon, Chiara Cavalieri and Taneha Bacchin will question themes such as water urbanism, sponge cities, and water-sensitive design.
