Mar 26, 2024
OOZE's research by design projects “Reimagine Water Flows: From Building to River Basin” ( MK&G, Hamburg) and “City of 1000 Tanks”(WAL,Chennai) are featured in
Henk Ovink's Presentation “Dare to Comprehend the Alternative, by Design”
The lecture is part of “IN FOCUS : RESEARCH”, event organized by The World Around & Future Observatory at the Design Museum in London.
Henk Ovink who has dedicated his career to advocating access to water, and serving as the executive director of the Global Commission on the Economics of Water @watercommongood, is taking us through alternative designs to rethink strategies and common actions to save the substance most essential to life on earth.
“Nothing can work without water. And because of this connective capacity—and if we understand, value and try to manage it—it can drive solutions that (…) deal with justice at the same time that they deal with sustainability and resilience.”
This empowering, hands-on approach has been carried to cities in South East Asia under the ‘Water as Leverage’ programme, creating spaces of dialogue for vulnerable communities and government representatives to together design sensitive, robust water management solutions.
