Although water has sustained social rituals and natural biological cycles for centuries, in our contemporary cities the clean water of fountains, ponds, canals, and lakes is disappearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a state of constant scarcity, characteristic of Sicilian summers, the study and rediscovery of underground springs, water infrastructures, and irrigation systems becomes a collective act of care for fragile urban ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Through the lens of water as a cultural, social, therapeutic and environmental resource, Favorita\u2019s Water Summer School explores the irrigation heritage of Palermo\u2019s Parco della Favorita (from water towers, Arab irrigation systems and Baroque fountains, to Roman cisterns) as a way to re-imagine new and speculative designs to better take care of water in the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The workshop is organised and led by\u00a0Flavia Saggese\u00a0(USI Mendrisio) and\u00a0Paolo Failla,\u00a0Francesca Gotti,\u00a0Lara Monacelli Bani,\u00a0Yona Schreyer\u00a0and\u00a0Michele Zadra\u00a0(Wunder Collective), with the participation of Prof.\u00a0Muck Petzet\u00a0(USI Mendrisio) and Prof.\u00a0Giuseppe Barbera\u00a0(University of Palermo).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Working together on site, we will meet the local community and critically develop speculative design interventions revolving around urban water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 2026 Summer School is conceived and promoted by the Istituto Svizzero, in collaboration with Studio Rizoma \u2013 Teatro Garibaldi, USI Accademia Mendrisio and Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Palermo, with the valued support of Banca Patrimoni Sella.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/favoritaswaters.cargo.site\/\">Visit the Summer School\u2019s website<\/a> for information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6568,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/6728"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiorizoma.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
