November 2014 /// The Crying Roof
The primary purpose of a roof is to prevent water from entering a space from above. Roofs are designed as barriers that block and shed water away. What if, instead, a roof invited water into a building? Rainfall is vital to the larger environment, yet is considered a detriment as soon as it enters an interior environment. How might a roof act as a filter that safely brings water inside to be experienced. Beyond collecting water through drains and cisterns, how might water be brought into a space to be touched, smelled, and heard? What benefits might come from letting some rain in? What happens when roofs cry?
Participants are asked to focus on designs that create direct interactions with water, rather than a closed system that simply collects water for reuse. Submissions may be conceptual, technical, and/or artistic.
