A live-streamed conversation with Marjetica Potrč and OOZE
Dairy Road exists between walls and water, flanked by highways on one side and the precious Jerrabomberra Wetlands on the other. The future of Dairy Road will be carefully guided by water sensitive urban design, including water conservation and treatment.
In this conversation, we invited long-time collaborators, Slovenian artist and architect Marjetica Potrč and Rotterdam-based design practice OOZE, to talk about how design can integrate the water cycle – technically as well as socially and culturally. In this conversation, they drew on their previous work, including King’s Cross Pond Club ‘Of Soil and Water’, a public art project and chemical-free swimming pond located on a construction site in London, and ‘Between the Waters: The Emscher Community Garden’, an autonomous water treatment system and public art installation between the Emscher River and the Rhine-Herne Canal in Germany.
This talk was part of Possible Futures, a series of talks and events aimed at informing the development of the Dairy Road Master Plan, across the areas of working, recreation, public space and living.
