FLOW Delft 〰️
A student team at the TU Delft designing and building innovative water related designs for the built environment. Our aim is to increase water awairness. With a changing climate and increasing pressure on our natural resources, innovations on water use are needed. Integrating smart solutions in designs in a social context for the built environment, is what Flow stands for.
What is the Dutch Design Week?
The Dutch Design Week (DDW) is the largest design event in Northern Europe, held annually in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Spanning nine days in October, it showcases the work of thousands of designers from around the world, with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and the future of design. Unlike traditional design fairs, DDW emphasizes experimentation and forward-thinking ideas, featuring everything from product design and architecture to digital art and social design. It's a vibrant, city-wide event with exhibitions, talks, workshops, and networking opportunities spread across various creative hubs and venues.
What can Flow bring?
Flow has a strong team of designers and people with a design background. The topics we discuss as a team, are systems for capturing rainwater, reusing wastewater, and purifying water, demonstrating how buildings can both consume and provide water. In addition to its technological innovations, the design for the DDW, serves as an educational hub, fostering collaboration and partnerships to tackle global water challenges.
Current water challenges
In the Netherlands, rising water demand driven by population growth, economic development, and climate change is projected to increase by 7% by 2030. Coupled with plans to build 900,000 new homes, this highlights the urgent need for water-sustainable housing and strategies to reduce water consumption.
