@TASCHEN - Julia Watson. Lo—TEK. Water. A Field Guide for TEKnology
The ingenious indigenous techniques against a runaway climate
While the West confronts the climate crisis with artificial intelligence and the most advanced technology, some indigenous communities have governed drought, flooding, and extreme heat for millennia, with systems that remain fully operational. Julia Watson’s book Lo-TEK Water gathers this forgotten knowledge and overturns a deep-rooted belief; the boldest innovation does not look forward but listens back.

From Davinotti in Italy to ReelStreets in the United Kingdom, and from L2TC in France to Scouting NY, these tools suggest a different way to plan a trip: a few stops, chosen shot by shot, and observed with the eye of someone who notices the details.
