Running Dry: How Water Will Design Our Future

​

This year, the students of the Open Studio Summer Intensive are showcasing their work as part of the 2020 Seattle Design Festival, put on by AIA Seattle's Design in Public strategic initiative.

 

As major cities around the world prepare for critical water management challenges in the near future, designers will be called upon to deliver solutions within the built environment. Students were asked to address how equity, specifically access to water, factored into their model. Final designs showcase a unique storyline of how individual student designers confronted these issues.

Elements of the exhibit are outlined below.
