Summary:
Water is both a friend and an enemy of Rotterdam. Rotterdam was founded near the water. Thanks to the water Rotterdam has a major port. Everyone in the Netherlands knows the image of the skyline of Rotterdam near the river. The fact that water can also be a threat to the city becomes clear in the title of the second International Architecture Biennale: ‘The Flood’. Rotterdam Waterstad 2035 is the joint project of three parties for the second International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. The content is created on the basis of a joint vision by experts of various disciplines. Apart from this book, there is a model and an exhibition. The model is a representation of 'Rotterdam Waterstad 2035' made by Werkplaats Vincent de Rijk. The model is part of an exhibition called ‘The Dutch Water City’ (‘De Hollandse Waterstad’). The publication Rotterdam Waterstad 2035 presents a complete overview of all the results of the project.

Summary:
We know that the vast majority of the Earth's surface is water. Unfortunately, 97.3% is salty, and only 2.7% is sweet. Of the latter, only a small fraction is available for domestic, agricultural, or industrial consumption, since the rest is in glaciers or underground layers that are too deep. An even smaller fraction is safe and drinkable. This text concentrates on fresh(...)

Summary:
We know that the vast majority of the Earth's surface is water. Unfortunately, 97.3% is salty, and only 2.7% is sweet. Of the latter, only a small fraction is available for domestic, agricultural, or industrial consumption, since the rest is in glaciers or underground layers that are too deep. An even smaller fraction is safe and drinkable. This text concentrates on fresh water, making brief allusions to the salty water of seas and oceans, because it is indispensable for life.

Summary:
A pioneer of "Water Urbanism" and the "Sponge City" model, Kongjian Yu is not only one of the most important living landscape architects, but also a keen observer of the present. His project proposals and his reflections on urban planning in China are a practical-conceptual reference with which to attempt to unravel the emerging questions of a planet threatened by environmental catastrophes, hydrogeological risks and a water crisis. Taking the foundational geometries of rural landscapes as a model, Kongjian Yu proposes very low technology water infrastructure works which, by activating an adaptive behavior, recompose intermediate landscapes between city and nature, concrete representations of the partnership between man and the element that, more than any other, generates and protects life and water.
