The Panel Discussions
21/6/24
CONDENSATIONS SG24 with SIWW
Condensations, part 02, comprised of a series of presentations grouped within three panels: Praxis, Design and Academia. It was held at Singapore International Water Week 2024 (SIWW), and was attended by ~400 visitors, inclusive of 48 registered architects.
The panel discussion explored adaptive coastal protection strategies, highlighting the use of innovative technology and nature-based solutions to enhance coastal resilience while emphasizing the importance of community-driven projects for effective and sustainable solutions. Additionally, the integration of traditional practices with modern aspirations and the necessity of embracing failure in learning-based models for continuous improvement were key themes discussed.
This second part consisted of three consecutive, moderated discussions with brief presentations and audience participation. Their combined goal was to examine the value of design in the development of nature-based green, grey, blue infrastructure in landscape, urban, architectural and hybrid projects. Presenters introduced examples from the Singapore, US, Chile, India, Finland, The Netherlands and Thailand and (among others). Each panel, including an array of cross sectoral participants, used one of three primary lenses for discussing and sharing work: Praxis (financing and policy making), Design Strategies and Academia (education and research)
The presentations looked at the value of design in shaping our relationship to water and creating resilience through three key questions:
What is the value of community engagement in the design of adaptive strategies within coastal living?
What is the value of adaptive, nature-based solutions in designing scalable and resilient water management systems?
What is the value of innovation in designing coastal systems that integrate public spaces, productive landscapes, and biodiversity?
Overview
Key Issues Discussed:
Histories: How communities, their vitality and sustenance (living with water) can contribute to and inform the design of adaptive frameworks.
Cultures: How methods and processes of engagement in the design of nature-based, scalable solutions can enrich communal relatedness.
Hydro_logics: How various models, fluvial/coastal, can rapidly change and alter, requiring the need for agile, adaptable modular design thinking and planned obsolescence.
Kits Of Parts: How provisional architectural, urban, landscape and infrastructural components can augment rapid, incremental strategies of retreat, adaptation and/or mitigation.
Adaptations: How natural and artificial urban archipelagos can serve as a test bed and bellwether for living in water in the second half of the Water Action Decade.
