Material: Hydrogel
Functions: Absorbing water and thus preventing flooding
Application: As a platform on which buildings can be constructed
One workshop group contributed their collective knowledge and experience as a product designer, cultural scientist, guerrilla gardener, and urban photographer. This gave rise to the idea of the »Anti-Flooding House«. In the future, such a house could be built on a platform partly made of hydrogel. The hydrogel could absorb water during heavy rainfall and thus protect against flooding.
