Abstract

Water is an essential element of life but it is neglected in cities. Understanding its importance in space production for life, the article purpose is to discuss how research and teaching of architecture and urbanism has the potential to contribute to this debate. This discussion starts from questions raised by the multispecies research Possible Gardens that understand that it is necessary to overcome the anthropocentric character of projects. Some ideas are mobilized for the proposed discussion: possible gardens, multispecies, cosmopolitics, rights granted to non-humans. It is presented how gardens contribute to make water perceived in city, from everyday life, with special interest in its agency and its importance for drainage. From this understanding, didactic experiments are presented to propose projects that place water as central. As a conclusion, it brings the importance of everyday spaces for water cycles, the need to expand water imaginaries and points to cosmopolitical assemblies as an example.
