AA LANDSCAPE URBANISM IN BILBAO APRIL 2012

The AA Landscape Urbanism went to Bilbao as part of the annual LU in the field workshop. This year AALU students 2011-12 worked on the creation of a overall strategy for Bilbao in relation to the potentials and challenges the city faces. The students presented their work to the local authorities and had the support of the Bilbao municipality through the Urban and Services departments. The workshop took place at "La Alhondiga" a multipurpose cultural facility located in the center of the city. The work was published in the Bilbao LAN TV and the local newspaper El correo.

Many thanks to Fran Viñez -Obras y Servicios Bilbao town hall- and to the architects Asier Santas and Luis Suarez for their insights into the city of Bilbao.

Recovering Waterscapes | AA Visiting School Mexico City 5-14 January

Water has historically been a major concern for the viability of Mexico City; posing a huge challenge at a metropolitan scale, with infrastructural, social and urban implications. The scarcity of water, the increasing cost of the resource and its short-sighted management, together with infrastructural changes currently taking place – major drainage and wastewater treatment works plus plans to control and prevent flooding and landslides – all present opportunities in the recovery and management of water. With the idea of integrating water back into the landscape of Mexico City and trigger the regeneration and reconfiguration of the urban realm, The AA is organising a Visiting School in Mexico City called "Recovering Waterscapes" in which all issues associated with water will be addressed, infrastructually, historically, politically and architecturally.
