A compelling visual and narrative journey through the ever-changing Dutch Delta realized by TU Delft (Delta Urbanism and Climate Action Programme) and Eye Filmmuseum and Archive (Amsterdam). Combining perspectives from science, art and design, the book presents a holistic view of the societal and spatial impacts of climate change. Archival documentaries by, among others, Bert Haanstra, George Sluizer and Louis van Gasteren are used as tools to investigate the transformations of the Dutch Delta. These films capture the ambition of reshaping nature and mastering water’s movements and serve as points of departure for a broader exploration. Through essays, interviews, and visual digests, the book weaves together voices from science, art, and design, and offers a visual and narrative reflection on the entangled forces of technology, climate, and daily life.
