Floods, water shortage and rising sea levels - the third laboratory talk broaches the issue of urban development on the waterfront i.e. amphibic living, and the theme of water with regard to the consequences of climate change and globalization. The handling of water equals the question of survival, not just in the Netherlands: what kind of preventive measures with sustainable benefits should be developed? What solutions can architecture and urban development provide for an environmentally friendly future? What visions does 'constructing on sea level' create?
