Generally speaking Infrastructure is associated with facilities and systems that are essential for our everyday living and which everyone takes for granted. It refers to physical structures and facilities such as roads, bridges, public transport network, buildings, water supply, electrical grids, and telecommunications. We have been so accustomed to them that we can’t even imagine life without them.
As (landscape) architects, engineers, designers or artists these systems are often part of our work. We design them, amend them, incorporate them. Creatives from current war zones investigate how our work, and life, is affected, changed and questioned when one the essential parts of our society, infrastructure, has been partial or fully destroyed.
