Blue
Water in the landscape forms a blue network. The network includes ground water, waterways and structures for the control and management of the built environment rainwater and meltwater. Water is a key element in environmental design, creating the conditions for life. It is also a valuable resource in the landscape.
Blue network design is strongly linked to climate change. Our goal is to maintain and increase the resilience of the landscape and cities, ie the ability to adapt to changing conditions. The relationship of the cities to the blue network can be seen, for example, in stormwater management and in the quality of surface water. We specialize in designing climate-resistant shorelines and resilient urban waterfronts.
