Waterstudio.NL is an architectural firm
located in the Netherlands that is confronting the challenge of
developing solutions to the problems posed by urbanization and
climate change.
The prognoses is that by 2050
approximately 70% of the world’s population will live in urbanized areas. Given
the fact that about 90% of the world’s largest cities are situated on the
waterfront, we have arrived to a situation where we are forced to rethink the
way we live with water in the built environment. Considering the unpredictability
of future developments and unanticipated needs, we should come up with flexible
strategies – planning for change. Our vision is that large-scale floating
projects in an urban environment provide a tangible solution to these problems
that is both flexible as well as sustainable.
