The Waterlines Project
March 20, 2025
The Waterlines Project aims to contextualize our relationship between history and place to better inform contemporary environmental decision making, urban planning, and our collective sense of stewardship of our landscapes. These exercises integrate several streams of research, disciplinary methods, and community-based approaches bringing together environmental science, cultural understandings, and archival sources with spatial methodologies, artistic design practices, and informed imaginings.
In March of 2025, Amir Sheikh hosted a salon conversation at Common Area to discuss The Waterlines Project and it’s history, engagement, and future commitments.
