Water Experiment and Lecture by Herbert Dreiseitl

In the upcoming FCL Global Seminar, Herbert, together with his partner Bettina Dreiseitl and his assistant from Singapore, Raymond Yong, will first give a hands-on introduction with real water experiments, a basic thought exercise to understand the elastic and regenerative nature of water, which he calls "Fluid Thinking".

A special reference to Switzerland is his first "sponge city" projects such as in Echallens "Homeau de la Fontaine", realized 40 years ago in 1983, and Herbert will highlight Switzerland's pioneering work at that time such as the General Drainage Planning (GEP).

Today, many cities follow the principles of Sponge City, and Singapore, as one of the pioneer cities, has a very progressive policy strategy, such as the ABC guidelines, to use rainwater as a resource and integrate it holistically into urban development with predominantly nature-based solutions.
