Fluid Landscape: Water's Influence

This lecture explores the concept of a fluid landscape as a guiding theme for a design project, focusing on the interaction between water and minerals in nature and its parallels with the human body's nutrient transport system. The analysis delves into the interconnectedness of natural cycles, such as plants, trees, water, and geology, emphasizing the importance of mineral transport by water. The study further investigates the chemical processes facilitated by water, from natural formations like stalactites to urban applications. The lecture also discusses scenarios for achieving energy self-sufficiency and sustainable consumption through interdependent cycles in construction, agriculture, energy production, and water treatment, with a particular emphasis on mineralization for human health.
