In the development of delta areas there has always been a strong relation with the water.
Not only does the delta offers great conditions for settlements and trading (which have
made deltas worldwide into high density areas), there is also the threat of the water.
For decades delta areas were developed with this balance between opportunity and threat.
In the Netherlands the water was more and more controlled until we had a safe fixed
situation leaving a landscape that is shaped by its need to protect the land against the water.
In urbanized delta areas detaching the city from the water almost became a luxury that only
the most developed areas could afford.
Due to a changing climate and changing insights concerning sustainable relations
between cities and waterscapes, new interventions will be needed to create a new deltalandscape. In addition to safety and better water-systems, there is a need for stronger
spatial identities and new cohesions of cities and their waterscapes. This is a task that
cannot be solved within one discipline; architects, urban designers, landscape designers,
civil engineers, policy analysts and decision makers will have to work together on different
pieces of this complex assignment. Delta Interventions therefore is an inter-disciplinary
studio which, on a wide variety of scales, deals with the necessary transformation of the
delta. The Studio is designed to reflect on both the Dutch delta as well as foreign deltas. We
set up connections with research institutes and universities in the United States (Houston,
New Orleans, Berkeley), China and South-West Asia, Argentina and Brazil to work on a joint
comparative Delta research and design project.
For the academic year 2016-2017 the focus of the studio will be the assignment provided
by the Bay Area Resilience by Design Challenge launched in April 2016 by Chief Resiliency
Officers from San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, Bay Conservation and Development
Commission, Association of Bay Area Governments, Bay Area Regional Collaborative, San
Francisco Estuary Institute, SPUR, the Climate Readiness Institute, and the California Coastal
Conservancy. Inspired by New Yorks Rebuild by Design the design competition aims at
addressing challenges affecting the resiliency of San Francisco Bay Area neighbourhoods,
environment, and infrastructure in an era of climate uncertainty. In collaboration with the
University of California, Berkeley, College of Environmental Design, Delta Interventions
Studio seeks to develop innovative projects to increase Bay Areas adaptive capacity
and local area performance in response to future uncertainty in climate and urbanization
patterns.
Within this scope of the delta, students are free to follow their fascination and choose
their own assignment (design, engineering, policy and management) which can vary from
buildings, constructions and public works to urban areas, landscapes and regions.
Since the development of the Delta is a contemporary issue that takes an important role in
governmental policies and national research programs, the studio will collaborate with several
professional organisations.
Research Group
Delta Urbanism
Delta Urbanism focuses on the need for new
integrated approaches in the design and planning
of urbanised delta areas. Deltas need a balance
among different claims and interests, such as
urbanisation, port- development, agriculture,
environmental and ecological qualities, flooddefence systems and fresh-water supply.
Balancing competing claims in deltas requires
new relationships to be forged between design,
engineering, science and governance. Delta
Interventions Graduation Studio led by Delta
Urbanism reflects on new interdependencies
between natural processes and societal practices
for the delivery of attractive and water resilient
urbanised areas, landscapes and regions. The
specific goal is the development of performative/
multifunctional designs and adaptive strategies for
the different dynamics and uncertainties shaping
the future of deltas.
