dc.description.abstractThe thesis is situated on the bank of the Yangtze River in Wuhan, China, and proposes a new layer of inhabitable infrastructure responding to the contemporary and future water crisis, including flooding, drought, and pollution. It argues for an ecological way of cohabitation with water, especially in a compromised climatic future. It attempts to explore the tension between built and unbuilt (city and river), stable and indeterminacy (building and landscape), and macro and micro (infrastructure and human activities). On the urban scale, the proposal is to create a new type of water treatment system with the existing ones to form a network that would increase the water treatment ability. The integration of infrastructure and ecological factors will create a resilient environment strategically.
