This research begins with a radical shift in emphasis from the current solid state of landscape urbanism, towards a more systemic approach to urban design based on the dynamic liquid states of waterscape urbanism. This shift in language also represents a shift in thinking about urban design in the age of climate change. The argument about the waterscape urbanism presents Greater Bangkok, Thailand, as a critical case study. Bangkok is one of the most vulnerable and at risk cities in the world already experiencing severe effects of unpredictable climate change. It also presents a degraded, but still vibrant indigenous water-based urbanism that remains a model of resilience and adaptability developed in concert with the historical cycles of monsoon rains and wet rice cultivation. The case study of Bangkok will contribute to an argument about making a redefined concept of waterscape urbanism central to addressing the social and environmental challenges.
