SUMMARY:Design with Water: Water as a Resource in the Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Design with Water is an immersive summer school course that explores how water can be a driving force in shaping landscapes. Set in the unique Icelandic environment\, the course brings together students interested in landscape architecture\, environmental sciences\, planning\, and related disciplines to engage with real‑world challenges of climate change\, urban hydrology\, and nature‑based design. \n\n\n\nThrough hands‑on studio work\, field observations\, lectures\, and site visits\, participants will work collaboratively to develop a plan for a river landscape\, integrating Blue‑Green Infrastructure (BGI) and Nature‑Based Solutions. The course combines theory and practice\, offering direct exposure to contemporary projects and an ongoing European‑funded BGI initiative as an open laboratory. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nLanguage: English\n\n\n\nDates of physical mobility: 3 to 10 August 2026\n\n\n\nLocation: Agricultural University of Iceland (Iceland)\n\n\n\nVirtual Mobility Dates: coming soon\n\n\n\nNumber of ECTS: 3\n\n\n\nMaximum number of participants: 30\n\n\n\n\nTarget Participants\n\n\n\nThe Summer School is a multidisciplinary international programme open to students pursuing a bachelor’s\, master’s\, or doctoral degree in environmental design disciplines\, art\, architecture\, environmental sciences\, and related fields. \n\n\n\nSubject\n\n\n\nThe concept of Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) is rapidly gaining traction\, positioning itself as a cornerstone of modern planning. As cities worldwide grapple with the dual challenges of rapid expansion and the escalating threats of climate change\, the need for sustainable and resilient water management has never been more critical. Increased impervious surfaces lead to higher runoff volumes\, overwhelming conventional drainage systems and exacerbating flood risks. Simultaneously\, environmental demands on water systems\, ranging from ecological health to resource sustainability\, are becoming increasingly complex. Blue-Green Infrastructure and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) offer a paradigm shift\, moving beyond traditional “grey” infrastructure (pipes\, pumps\, concrete) to integrate natural processes into the urban fabric.
