| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The project aims to elucidate intersection between cultural imagination and science and technology in the context of climate change. It particularly focuses on the network of practices around the Chao Phraya Delta in Thailand, which has been seen as one of the most vulnerable deltas. One of the salient features of such adaptation efforts is revitalizing and leveraging traditional forms of architecture, town panning and lifestyle, which exhibit high adaptability to flooding. In various forms of adaptation planning and experimentation, diverse experts from hydrologists and climatologists to engineers and architects to social scientists exchange their knowledge and ideas to materialize flood resilience of traditional infrastructures not only by the means of cutting edge computer simulation and modern planning and but also developing cultural imagination about possible forms of flood resilient lifestyle.
