International Collaboration Award 2010, Cardiff University (awarded) Researcher: Dr Cristian Suau Sponsor: CEBE Website: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/plann/researchinitiative Contact: Richard Palmer, Planning Division, Cardiff University Research project: FogHive - 3D Fog Collectors along the Coastal Desert, Chile. The purpose of this research was twofold: Firstly, I established new academic links between the Welsh School of Architecture (WSA) and Chilean scientific centres/universities and delivered the research dissemination through visiting lecturers, conferences/seminars and joint collaborative research projects. Secondly, I focused on the development of fog collectors in the coastal desert by using lightweight modular frames and hydrophobic screens). It included on-site visits to climatic stations and fog oases. FogHive consists of a large water-repellent skin facing prevailing winds with a shading device facing the Equator. The water collection, filtering and irrigation network can employ local structural materials and techniques. In comparison with existing conventional two-dimensional fog collectors, FogHive will upgrade the following design: 1. Increased yield from advection fog by taking into account harvesting rate and climatic parameters in fog oases; 2. Structural reinforcement of fog collectors through lightweight and deployable space-frames; 3. Reduced installation and maintenance costs; 4. Lowered physical impacts on surroundings. This research fieldwork provided access to key climatic data, which culminated in the development of the following publications: Suau, C. ‘Fog_Hive: 3D Fog Collection in the Coastal Atacama Desert’.

Dr Tahl Kaminer (TU Delft) and Dr Cristian Suau (WSA) to lead and develop a colloquium called ’Urban Crisis and Resistance’ at TU Delft, which took place at TU Delft, October 2010. It presented theoretical papers and design-based works as well as urban case studies of, for instance, the manner in which urban morphology is itself a social and economic product, or the effects of neoliberal policies on the urban environment. This platform of debate facilitated the understanding of various urban dynamics and often unmediated interactions among numerous global actors that are creating new levels of complexity for the relationships between planning, research and design practice.

UNIVERSITY CITIZENSHIP Statement Democracy is an every-day construction. As a way of seeing, interpreting and ordering the world, democracy is a ‘worldview’. Worldviews are unique in that they retain everything, arranged everything differently. Hence the University constitutes the genuine ‘Place of Citizenship’. It offers an equitable access to construct active citizens who will shape this changing world. Nowadays it can be debated that our built environment is experiencing pressures as never before, and is shifting due to complex factors. What role should we playing beyond aesthetics? In promoting the active participation of all individuals in democratic life at all levels, the importance of learning about democracy in our school and university life, including participation in the decision-making process and the associated structures of students and teachers seems essential. I would like to highlight some key points which govern my mind by underpinning progressive research, teaching and learning, mainly through the design studio and research outputs. The foundations of a ‘Democratic Design’ are: 1. Empowered Diversity 2. Adaptable Living Systems: What Should We Play Instead? 3. Construction of Innovative Environments and Plural Design 4. Playability 5. Social Accessibility In terms of making recommendations and dissemination of citizenship values, I achieve them by every-day actions such as: Supporting student delegates and activities; fostering the critical debate in lectures and forums; actively contributing to an inclusive community through promoting equality and diversity by participating in the student/staff panel, BSc admission board, board of studies, BSc scheme review committee, learning and teaching committee; empowering the internationalisation (through workshops, seminars, new academic links, etc.); mentoring, supporting and appraising colleagues; encouraging agency; and supporting local communities.
