Abstract

The paper outlines the strategy initiating students to the complex relationships between technology and society in the research studio context. By leveraging accessible open-source databases, digital modeling, and fabrication techniques, the studio systematically addresses the complex, social-cultural, ecological, and economic (infrastructural) relations through the performance of surface geometry of the ground plane with regard to water in three distinct scales.

Keywords: Water Management, Surface Geometry, Infrastructure, Urban Landscape, Precast Paving Units
