| Résumé : | The form of an urban landscape can contribute to more sustainable water flows which in turn can contribute to the spatial quality of an urban landscape. In recent decades, in the diffuse urban landscape of Veneto Region, Northeast Italy, spatial transformations and water infrastructure rationalization has been accompanied by water problems. This is threatening the area’s spatial qualities and sustainability. There is evidence of a crisis between the society and urban landscape in terms of infrastructural support. The isotropic rationality embedded in the landscape’s structure and features have great potential for ecological design and make Veneto Diffuse City an ideal testing ground to explore a park-like form of urban landscape. This paper presents a part of our PhD research, focused on the exploration of conceptual design models, based on principles of sustainable water management. The research is divided into two parts: the first is an investigation on the recent process of rationalization - the role played by the flows and elements of the irrigation and drainage system and the drinking and waste water system in relation to spatial quality. The second part is an exploration of a possible future process of rationalization - the role the flows and elements of the water systems could play in the frame of integrated and decentralized infrastructures. Two case studies areas, managed by separate water boards, are selected: Valli Grandi (CVG) and Sinistra Piave (CSXP). |
