This episode of the Gutter to Gulf Studios involves the comparative research of global watersheds and<br />
their respective delta urbanisms. Following analyses of the Mississippi, Rhine, and Mekong Watersheds,<br />
the project focuses on Bangkok, and the hydrological issues which contribute to its social, environmental,<br />
and urban condition. Once known as the “Venice of the East,” this city’s disappearing canal network<br />
is overstressed and can no longer accomodate for high volumes of rainwater run-off. An Urban Aqueduct<br />
system acts as an armature for gathering and storing excess rainwater, mitigating the impact of flashflooding,<br />
and re-introducing the presence of water in the public realm through architectural prototyping.
