The influential Chinese landscape #architect #KongjianYu, known for rethinking concrete infrastructure around #waterways, died in a small #planecrash in #Brazil. He would put up some inspiring questions:
“Instead of pushing stormwater away, or damming against it, what if cities began taking inspiration from the way farmers in villages like [Yu’s] hometown dealt with annual monsoons? What if the arrival of water—even millions of gallons of it—could again be something to look forward to instead of something to fear? What if we insisted on reshaping cities to make room for water rather than reshaping waterways to make room for cities? What if we could slow down and capture stormwater instead of whisking it quickly out to sea inside concrete culverts designed solely by engineers? What if water contained in this way could help cool warming cities?" -
