This illustrated notebook highlights the need for a change of
paradigm in current flood management practices, one that
acknowledges the wide-ranging and interdisciplinary benefits
brought by public space design. Reassessing and improving
established flood management methods, public spaces are faced with
a new and enhanced role as mediators of flood adaptation able to
integrate infrastructure and communities together in the management
of flood water as an ultimate resource for urban resilience. The
book specifically introduces a path towards a new perspective on
flood adaptation through public space design, stressing the
importance of local, bottom up, approaches. Deriving from a
solution-directed investigation, which is particularly attentive to
design, the book offers a wide range of systematized conceptual
solutions of flood adaptation measures applicable in the design of
public spaces. Through a commonly used vocabulary and simple
technical notions, the book facilitates and accelerates the initial
brainstorm phases of a public space project with flood adaptation
capacities, enabling a direct application in contemporary practice.
Furthermore, it offers a significant sample of real-case examples
that may further assist the decision-making throughout design
processes. Overall, the book envisions to challenge established
professionals, such as engineers, architects or urban planners, to
work and design with uncertainty in an era of an unprecedented
climate.
