Water is an element deeply rooted in Uruguay’s history and culture and has been fundamental to the country’s development. As we enter what may be the age of water, the way we manage, conserve, and design with water it will shape humanity’s future. Architecture has the potential to address water-related challenges through designs that encourage its conservation and efficient use, ensuring a reliable supply for human consumption, agriculture, industry, and energy generation. Water in the territory opens up innovative urban planning and design possibilities, acting as an element that unifies and invites us to rethink how we inhabit spaces.
This exhibition presents a critical reflection on the management and symbolic value of water, emphasizing the urgency of preserving and protecting this essential resource for future generations.
