In this era of climate change, our relationship to water – be it rain or rivers, for drinking or wastewater – is changing. A new awareness and an understanding of how we can use water sustainably, are needed, and we must investigate how we can prepare for heavy rain, droughts and ooding. This necessity is something which also confronts us at an individual level – in our homes, streets and neighbourhoods.
This was the main motivation for Let’s Talk Water,
a collaboration of Design Academy Eindhoven with partners Woonbedriif, a social housing corporation, Waterschap De Dommel, the regional water board for the Eindhoven region, and with the residents of the Geestenberg neighbourhood in Eindhoven.
