Jill's got an inspiring interview up with Koen Olthius of WaterStudio.nl. And today, of course, we could all use some inspiration when it comes to flood protection.
Here's a taste: ...And people from the United States and China watch our systems of keeping the water out of the landscape the water out. But while they want to emulate our system of dikes, we are actually trying to move away from fighting against the water. Now we are beginning to let the water in and we are starting to make friends with the water. We have to do that because eventually the dikes won't be able to keep up and all of this part of Holland's will be flooded. So, it's better just to work with the water instead of fighting against it.
Oh: And when you're done with the interview, take a side trip to our own "Surving the Flood" for more water-related design.
