Broad River Project
research
The Broad River Project proposes alternative scenarios for the river Guadalquivir. Through architectural interventions at different scales remedial strategies are implemented, which are able to establish a new balance between the river, the various landscapes of its basin and mankind. Sustainable production processes are made possible through the design of their physical structure and vice versa.

The Broad River Atlas presents the stretch of the Guadalquivir from Alcala del Rio to its estuary. Maps of single interventions can be visited. Projects with their corresponding remedial strategies are inserted as species of new ecosystems within the habitat of the Guadalquivir. Each kind of intervention is identified through a binomial nomenclature, where the first part of the name reflects the physical character of the intervention, and the second part reflects its strategy.

The projects can be visited through the atlas, starting from their physical relationship with the land, or through the abacus, starting from their species of intervention and therefor strategy. The Broad River Project with its atlas and the collection of species of interventions is completed by the Dictionary of Productive Waterscapes.
curated by Stephan Jung and Sergio Rodriguez Estevez with Nicolo Riva.
