The much-needed repair and rebuilding of Amsterdam’s historical quay walls and bridges coincides with growing demand for innovation, ranging from improved logistics and energy systems to enhanced biodiversity and climate resilience. These technology-driven transformations are unfolding in the heart of a World Heritage property known for its distinctive architectural and urban character. This article explores the complexities of integrating heritage into transdisciplinary design processes, focusing on the Canal Ring Area inside the Singelgracht. It proposes three axes for planning interventions that draw meaningfully on the past while addressing future needs, including those related to climate change. In particular, the article considers how historical analysis, spatial mapping and narrative-based approaches can strengthen the integration of historic spaces and practices into locally grounded, sustainable, climate-responsive design.

This paper explores the use of soundscape design to reconnect the people of Tetouan, Morocco, with their cultural heritage as embodied in their historic skundo water system. Our understanding of soundscapes within this context was developed through an in-depth soundscape analysis within the medina of Tetouan that identified how the skundo system and its audible sounds are still present. To amplify the presence of the skundo system and raise awareness of the value of water, we used the system’s traditional clay pipes, with their audible and tactile qualities, as focal elements in our design interventions. Through the soundscape analysis, we designed interventions in several unique spaces that highlight the value of water within two possible future climate scenarios: one involving an abundance of water and the other its absence. Through these sound interventions, we aim to reconnect residents with their water and cultural heritage and emphasize the importance of sustainable water management while integrating local traditions.

The Water Triangle forms an important area of the maritime heritage of the province of South Holland. This area faces the choice of how the charm of this dynamic maritime landscape—with its alternation of wide rivers, large shipyards, and the (visual) openness and small-scale nature of the intervening buildings—can be utilized as a spatial quality. It is precisely here that population decline, dike heightening due to climate change, and, among other things, ever-rising apartment buildings determine the spatial challenges. The maritime heritage can be decisive in creating a future, attractive landscape near Rotterdam. The first steps consisted of a broad definition of a maritime landscape in four zones, featuring tangible and intangible traces. But equally important is broad interest from the local community, in which the stories are captured. This exhibition presents a series of maps as part of a landscape biographical study that showcased the great maritime richness of the area, together with various landscape biographical artifacts representing the essence of the maritime landscape. These objects were created by landscape architecture students from the Landscape Architecture master's track at TU Delft. Students from the Heritage and Architecture master's track created redesigns of various places to illustrate their development potential.
