Entangled with Water


Seeking to explore the socio-technical view on infrastructure, we look at the design process of water sensitive cities infrastructure in six informal settlements in Makassar, Indonesia.

Part 1
A photo-diary of Makassar is a glimpse into a formal and informal city that lies on a swampy estuary. From here, step into kampungs, places rich with life that rapidly change. Then, it is time to hear a story of 7 toilets, as an introduction of a design problem: water entanglements. 

Part 2
The design process that is focused on complex things and relations is not only about the tools for designing. Designers, panritas, are getting lost and found inside the maze of perspectives. We should explore things that are not usually told: the making and humming.

Part 3
If the water sensitive infrastructure is to be integrated in many futures, it needs to start communicating. Here is a wetland that tells about her journey.

...these contrasting realities are difficult to distinguish, they constantly overlap, clash and align Hasanuddin University It is a city full of growth, both natural and urban

Even though the water is everywhere, it is often so hard to get to it ...people grow with water, they live in it and from it. Makassar keeps growing - it is getting larger, denser, it keeps taking land from the sea and rivers Kampung relocation programme: vertical housing Pa'gandeng - vegetable seller Hard waste collection truck
