Vorm geven aan stedelijk water / Designing water in the city

Synergie van natuur, techniek en esthetiek

Hiltrud Pötz, Pierre Bleuzé

Vorm geven aan stedelijk water (Designing water in the city) focuses on the design of sustainable urban water concepts. The attractiveness of beautiful design is the way to get urban designers and principals to look further into sustainable possibilities. The examples in this book show that concepts can be implemented at no extra cost through the integration of design, natural functions and technology.

In 1999 Hiltrud Pötz and Pierre Bleuzé wrote the successful book Zichtbaar, tastbaar, zinvol (Visible, tangible, meaningful) on the integration of nature and technology in the design of water in the city. The book has been out of print for a long time: the moment is ripe for a new edition.

The website www.water-in-zicht.nl is linked to this book. The site contains more information (in Dutch) about the water cycle in the city and designs for water, but above all it includes examples of integrated water concepts.
