Think back to an experience in your life you shared with water. Were you caught in the rain?
Swimming in the ocean? Walking on a frozen lake? Technology is only part of the answer to our
challenges with water. What's missing is our relationship with water. How will life change as
our relationship to water transforms? How might our participation in urban hydrology nudge
society toward an ecological balance? How can we be radical dreamers of utopia while keeping
our feet on the ground or in the water as it may be? This book shares the story of organic
water filtration systems and other practices relating with water at Floating University Berlin.
The manuscript flows through strategies and manuals oral histories and infrastructures
concerning the four main types of water filtered on site: rainwater basin water blackwater
and the many shades of greywater. Embedded in the literary representation of Floating
University's public pedagogy this text collection includes artifacts of seminars workshops
performances practices and discussions that ruminate on our place in the water cycle. Dieses
Buch erzählt die Geschichte von organischen Wasserfiltersystemen und anderen Praktiken im
Umgang mit Wasser an der Floating University Berlin. Eingebettet in literarische Darstellungen
führt das Manuskript durch Strategien und Handbücher mündliche Erzählungen und Infrastrukturen
versammelt Artefakte von Workshops Performances und Diskussionen in denen die wir über
unseren Platz im Wasserkreislauf nachdenken.
