Floods + Excess
Bartlett 2009 - 2010
Over the next twenty years our cities will undergo unpredictable transformations. The rapid change in technologies, social and environmental conditions will shift the form and perception of our urban environment. The Unit sets out to investigate the 21st century Metropolis. We shall explore the contradicting relationship between the invisible systems and the buildings that host them.
The word “flood” conjures an immediate image of water, excess and its chaotic aftermath. Traditionally we have developed systems to control and contain these fluctuations. However one could intervene in such a way that the huge dynamic if this phenomena be put to creative use to benefit our cities.
