urban resilience
+ blue space
This project investigates how urban resilience can be realised in the contemporary setting. This research proposes that the inclusion of water or blue spaces in the public realm can afford this resilience. The introduction of blue space is investigated through affordances of environmental sustainability, cultural manifestation, social equality, and public mental well-being. Through the holistic design, where these four components are considered equally and concurrently, I hope to identify the possibility of a truly resilient urban environment. |
