Rapid urbanization, climate change, a growing population, racial and economic inequalities, and ecosystem degradation fuel our angst and suggest the value of new approaches to water infrastructures, ones that align the goals of resilience, equity, ecological responsiveness, and sufficient and suitable quality water for all. Building on this challenge, this book teases out the profound architectural and urban design consequences of emerging approaches to water supply and treatment, such as distributed systems, and considers the implications when architects engage in “bringing water into the creative ambit.”1 It endeavors to motivate a next generation of architects to embrace the complexities of water and water systems, excite the design and moral imaginary, and proactively contend with the many hydrological problems facing contemporary urban societies.
