About the talk:
Malaga originates in the Phoenician era and is located on the southern coast of Andalusia in Spain. As is common in Mediterranean cities, the search for drinking water has been ongoing throughout its history. This study proposes and tests a method for analysing and documenting the cultural-natural capital of the city’s three central water supply systems, operational between the 15th and 19th centuries. Based on landscape characterisation methodologies, the study aims to recognise and map these peripheral heritage systems from a holistic perspective, ranging from the biophysical understanding of the environment to their architectural and human scale.
