The 2008 Next Generation® Design Competition focuses on WATER. In a world of killer floods and rising tides, potable water is a finite resource. Water is everywhere -in nature, industry, home, our bodies, products, interiors, buildings, landscapes, systems (just to name a few). With up to one third of the global population living without reliable access to clean water, we need better design solutions that account for potable water, gray water, black water -its uses, re-uses, controls, management, efficiency, and conservation. We call on your innovative design solutions at all scales and sizes -products, interiors, buildings, landscapes, communication systems, or anything else you’ve dreamed up- for handling this most precious and most threatened natural resource. The time for new thinking on water is now. Info: e-mail: nextgen08@metropolismag.com; www.metropolismag.com
