| On ecological and social metabolisms, cohabitation, engineering and economy in urbanised shallow water territories. This magazine explores two extreme cases of urbanized shallow water territories â Markermeer/IJsselmeer in the heart of the Netherlands and the Venetian Lagoon. One is probably the most technologically controlled water on Earth, while the other negotiates a balance of natural water cycles, extreme weather, and a robust tourist economy. Providing points of reflection for similar territories where prospective sea level rise in the near future poses urgent questions about human and more-than human cohabitation, engineering, economy, and both ecological and social metabolisms. BIO Bureau LADA (Landscape, Architecture, Design, Action) is a cross-disciplinary Amsterdam based studio with a focus on architecture. Currently active between Amsterdam, Venice and Cairo, the practice specialises in design strategy, social ecology, and the future of education. Established in 2010 by Croatian-Dutch architect and urbanist Lada HrÅ¡ak, the studio collaborates with practitioners from the fields of ecology, science, art, heritage, and sociology. The studioâ s research initiative Shallow Waters was selected for the Parallel Program of the Dutch pavilion at the 2021 Venice Architecture Biennial. The bureauâ s team members engaged in the Shallow Waters project are Ludovica Beltrami, Juliette Gilson, Lada HrÅ¡ak, Zoe Panayi, Simone Spiga, and Zhao Zhou. |
