Towards resilient water landscapes - design research approaches from Europe and Australia : proceedings of the International Symposium on Water Landscapes at the University of New South Wales, Sydney...

"Towards Resilient Water Landscapes" is the key focus of concern in these proceedings. Encapsulated in the approaches taken by the writers are clues into how researchers and designers who must engage with the complexities of the landscapes, infrastructures and ecologies of cities and their communities can contribute to growing design knowledge and critical debate in these times of rapid climate, environmental, spatial and cultural change. The realization that a multidisciplinary approach is essential to gain knowledge and to propose new solutions based upon design thinking underpins this collaboration between academics and designers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Copenhagen University (UC) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
