WATER AS A SUBJECT
Monday 28 October 2024 6.30 p.m.
Lecture by Paola Viganò
To think about water is to think about life, space, and power relations.
The architecture of water is of crucial importance at present. The risks associated with water and climate change are a concern for the entire planet; the number of projects addressing water-related issues seems limitless. The project of water is one that shapes our territories and living spaces over time.
Water is one of the many vulnerable subjects of modernity. Violated, attacked, altered, concealed, water is a ‘weak structure’ in the sense that it has the capacity to shape contemporary cities and territories, despite its heterogeneity, fragmentation, and the separation between spaces and functions.
Water is both the object and the subject that we merely reveal, rediscover, support, and follow through projects that listen to its voice and intentions. Cities and territories are the ‘laboratory of water,’ where the socio-ecological transition is being shaped.
