Water plays a key role in times of climate change - both as a resource and a threat. Rising sea levels, floods and droughts require innovative approaches in architecture and urban planning. The exhibition "Wind Blows, Water Rises" is dedicated to the research-based work of Doreen Heng Liu and her office NODE, who are working intensively on the Pearl River Delta in China - one of the world's most densely populated metropolitan regions.

Until 19 March, the exhibition is showing 13 projects that illustrate urban change and the challenges of dealing with infrastructure and public space. Another focus is the research project Water and Urbanization, which was initiated by Liu at Shenzhen University. It examines water ecosystems and offers solutions on how water can be used as a driving force for sustainable urban development in other regions of the world. Following Shenzhen-ness (2018), Wind Blows, Water Rises is the second exhibition initiated by Doreen Heng Liu at the Aedes Architecture Forum.
