| Long abstract | The Dutch delta tells the story of constant struggle, resistance and negotiation between land, water, and people. It is always in motion - from fluctuating tides and historic floods to flows of global trade and engineering mega works. |

Luca Iuorio graduated in architecture from Iuav University of Venice, where he also obtained a doctorate in urbanism. He is currently an assistant professor in the faculty of architecture and the built environment of TU Delft in the department of urbanism. His academic work spans from the study of the territorial dimension of engineering infrastructures to the design of spatial interventions to adapt to climate change. He is interested in understanding and explaining how technology affects our society and shapes the places where we live.
Sophia Arbara is an architect, urban designer and researcher. Her work is placed at the intersections between urban design theory and methods, mobility and cultural landscapes research aiming to address socio-ecological challenges and unveil both familiar and untold narratives through spatial approaches. She is currently a post-doctoral researcher in the Redesigning Deltas research group in the faculty of architecture, TU Delft, where she focuses on food systems as spatial agents in the shaping of territorial and local dynamics in deltaic areas.
Carissa Champlin is an Assistant Professor of Participatory Design in the Department of Human-Centered Design at TU Delft. Her research engages co-design and the arts to rethink and contextualize a broad range of methods from spatio-temporal analysis to serious gaming to envision and plan resilient future cities and urban regions. She is a lead researcher in the Behavioural Insights for Climate Action flagship project of the Climate Action Programme at TU Delft, where she facilitates researchers, practitioners and citizens in their communication about complex urban issues related to climate resilience. Carissa is particularly interested in studying how historical low-technology and nature-based approaches can be used as guiding principles for future collective action and the use of common resources.
