| Sumario: | Fuzzy Boundaries: Threshold Between Water and Land is a curated selection of reflections on the boundaries between water and land, and its meaning amidst climate change, social, economic, and political challenges. By engaging with form and contemplating the frictions and quiet conflicts that inhabit transitional spaces, the authors suggest that fuzziness – viewed through varied geographical and cultural lenses – holds the potential to reveal deeper layers of meaning.This book is structured as a journey ‘from reading to design', guiding readers through stages that may be understood as moving from analysis and interpretation, to drawing, modelling, and designing, and ultimately to implementation and [un]building – offering deeper insight into the thresholds between land and water. Readers are invited to critically reflect on the representation of boundaries: What is depicted, how it is portrayed, and through which scales and perspectives. Fuzzy Boundaries brings together case studies from across the globe, revealing how distinct realities intersect and coexist, while exploring strategies to confront the challenges currently facing people, water, and land. The sequence of chapters forms a body of knowledge aimed at supporting future initiatives in conservation, adaptation, and transformation amid growing urban and environmental challenges.This book is directed at students, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers in a call to consider fuzziness in project design thinking.
