The States of Water
Water is a complex subject with myriad relationships to people, place, and the environment. Through this issue of Unmute, we want to open out the various ways of thinking about water and the city. Water can thus be thought about as an engineering system to be managed, a sociologically driven resource, a source of livelihood, a vantage point in the city, a conservation practice and eventually as a life-supporting resource driving design. What are the many ways, we can think of water and its potential to propel new ways of designing our cities at different scales?
