http://all-risk-program.nl The current flood-risk related challenges induced by climate change place pressure on designing urban areas where natural and man-made conditions can be imbalanced. This project output enlightens new possible synergies between flood protection infrastructure and urban landscape through the role of integrated design. ... [more]

Project

SARCC - Sustainable and resilient coastal cities

https://www.sarcc.eu The overall objective of SARCC (Sustainable and Resilient Coastal Cities) is to help mainstream nature-based solutions (NBS) into coastal management and policy making, whether that is as stand-alone projects or NBS-hybrids, where they are integrated into existing grey infrastructure and flood defences. The project will build the capacity of urban leaders, decision-makers and officers involved in coastal flood defences to deploy NBS and understand the additional benefits that they offer in comparison to traditional grey infrastructure. ...

Limits and inevitabilities of dams in the North American machine-territory

February 2018

Luca Iuorio

Dams have been essential for the growth of population and its prosperity. Men have been building dams for 5,000 years. Last century, 75,000 dams have been built in the United States. It has been estimated that by 2020 the 85% of those barriers will reach the end of the designed life-span. Over the past 30 years approximately 900 dams have been removed (in the US) due to ecological concerns, ... [Show full abstract] calling into question the supply model and the idea of the City. Construction of dams complied to the inescapable necessity of progress, their demolition is driven by the search for an original landscape. Two American stories of spatial and social modification are a chance to explore and problematize the limits and the inevitabilities of dams in contemporary.

Lagoons in a century. Failed projects, interpretations and territorial visions

June 2022

Luca Iuorio

Starting from the extensive archive of unrealized projects for the Venice lagoon, the essay contextualizes three plans (never or partially completed) in the aim of defining new tools and argumentations to further problematize the ongoing infrastructural interventions. These projects, indeed, are paradigmatic cases in order to report how specific models of rationalization of the territory came in ... [Show full abstract] succession and how they interpreted the lagoon during last century. In the specific, it will be demonstrated how distinct projects translate the lagoon environment within relations of a wider geographic context.

Luca Iuorio

The current flood risk-related challenges induced by climate change place pressure on designing urban areas where natural and man-made conditions can be imbalanced. Today, flood risk is mostly managed to reduce the probability of flood events. However, the engineered probability approach to flood risk management might not always result in a well-designed landscape; especially in floodplain and ... [Show full abstract] coastal areas, water defence infrastructures significantly impact the urban structure. This project output highlights new possible synergies between flood protection infrastructure and urban landscape through integrated design. Designing, indeed, is the fundamental act to explore the spatial challenge of climate change in its complexity.
