Water is the main life source for human being starting from birth. Throughout the history this vital element effected every field of life as well as the discipline of architecture and design, which have the mission to create comfortable and livable spaces for human. It is observed that apart from alternative living spaces to terrestrial architecture in traditional forms, during the recent years, the studies which include the analysis as to space hotels, floating spaces and effects of spatial characteristics of pole stations on the users have increased. One of the reasons for this, is that people's need for alternative living spaces and resources has come up. The association of the concept of human-space-water is being considered together more frequent day by day.

In Recent years there is a growing focus on living with water due to the extreme climate changes, rising density, economical trends and sustainability problems. Scientist and futurists from all over the world are indicating the solutions for living with water and predict that the relationship between human and water will increase. Not only the countries which have the risk of flood, or rising sea levels, but also the other countries which has the probability of effecting by the climate changes are taking into consideration water based solutions. Also the flow of the capital and changing human life style requirements show us the water as an alternative living space.

Although the concept of living with water seems revolutionary the human relation with water is not a new trend. In the scope of this symposium, different integration types of water to spaces from the vernacular models to floating homes wil be discussed. As a respond to the world’s sustainability problems, from both economical, socio - cultural and also the ecological, we need to understand the importance of living with water. As the designers and engineers of the “climate change generation” we have the responsility to look at the past, present and the future and ask the opportunities of water that we could apply, inform and transform to our designs.

We invite designers, architects, engineers, sociologists, students and everyone who feel the need creating solutions sensitive to climate change and for sustainable future of the world on particulary design with water.

Prof. Dr. Gökdeniz Neşer

Prof. Neser from Dokuz Eylul University Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology’s Marine Technology Department is a naval architect graduated from Istanbul Technical University. He has carried on several research studies in the field of advanced polymer composites in marine use including their degradation and recycling, and Life Cycle Assessment. Neser has published researches on the marine pollution issues, e.g. environmental and occupational impacts of global ship recycling industry, environmental management of dredging, shipyards and ship repair facilities’ effects on the environment, oil pollution prevention funded by EU, UN, and national agencies. He has been in Japan, USA, United Kingdom, and Poland as visiting professor and research fellow. Neser also served as a board member of Water Supply and Treatment Directorate in local level and the director of DEU’s Boatbuilding Research Centre. In his speech, Neser will talk about marine environmental degradation on the materials with a case of sailcloth. According to Neser, “Structural elements of built environments located in, along, close to marine environment are often compromised in their usage by the uncertainty of material behavior under cyclic and impact loading and various environmental factors, e.g. exposure to seawater, water vapor, UV, change in extreme temperature and long-term physical and chemical stability mainly due to the climate change, attacks of marine organism. Since reliable theory and experimental data are practically nonexistent, properties of materials of these structural elements are severely penalized by the use of unusually large margins of safety in actual design, if the designers have an awareness on their degradations. Until the degradation of these structural elements by various environmental factors is better understood so that corrective measures can be taken, the true potential of such materials cannot be realized. In the study, attention has been primarily focused only on these environmental factors and failure mechanism that caused by these factors which influence the end use of the related structural elements in a range of marine structures, from boats to wind turbines, cars and elements of buildings.” Effects of Marine Environment on the Performance of Structural Elements
