  • Innovation Through Traditional Water Knowledge: an Approach to the Water Crisis
    ARTICLES Innovation Through Traditional Water Knowledge: An Approach to the Water Crisis CHIARA PAPPALARDO* ABSTRACT Water supplies are being depleted and are further threatened by the impacts of climate change. The current water management systems are ill equipped to deal with the issue in signi®cant part because they do not promote distributed water collection, water conservation, and water reuse. It is critical that water laws be reformed to encourage these practices. Fortunately, a combination of often forgotten traditional water practices and more recent innovations in water use and management can help resolve this growing water crisis. These include rainwater capture, black and grey water recycling and reuse, and new advanced technologies to purify water. Stepping up these solutions through legal and regulatory change will offer local of®cials and water managers a better chance to meet present demands and future needs in an increasingly water-constrained world.

  • 4Dframe's Warka Water Workshop
    Bridges Finland Conference Proceedings Modelling Environmental Problem-Solving through STEAM Activities: 4Dframe’s Warka Water Workshop Kristóf Fenyvesi (*) University of Jyväskylä, Finland Ars GEometrica Community, Experience Workshop Math-Art Movement Website: www.experienceworkshop.hu E-mail: [email protected] Ho-Gul Park (1), Taeyoung Choi (1), Kwangcheol Song (1), Seungsuk Ahn (2) 1) 4D Mathematics and Science Creativity Institute, Korea; 2) Wonkwang High School, Korea E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this paper the Korean 4Dframe educational modelling kit’s rich capacities are presented within a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) education workshop. The workshop is an adaptation of the Warka Water social design project, launched by the architect Arturo Vittori in response to Ethiopia’s diminished sources of drinking water. Participants of the workshop will study the geometry of the Warka Water tower and understand its water harvesting technique, which is based on collecting water from the air. Introduction The 4Dframe educational modelling kit was developed by Ho-Gul Park, a Korean engineer and model maker originally inspired by classical, Korean architecture. 4Dframe’s concept is based upon the structural analysis and geometric formalization of building techniques utilized in the construction of Korea’s traditional, wooden buildings. 4Dframe set consists of just a small number of elegantly structured, simple module pieces. The wealth of structural variability offered by this versatile device renders it an excellent educational tool for conceptualizing, modelling, or analyzing topics relevant to all STEAM fields, such as science, technology, engineering (including robotics), arts (including architecture, or design), and mathematics [10] and relevant to these fields’ integrated pedagogical approach as well.
