Rhizomatic Deluge : A Cartography of Ecocentrism and Anthropocentrism

The concept of wetness is considered something to be fought against, to be kept away or controlled to maintain a comfortable urban landscape. Because of this the wetness is always segregated, confined and observed from a distance. This led to the confinement of the river Foyle between the well-defined river edges and complete isolation from the citizens except for the visual connection. The wetness has to be redistributed, not just the river. The wetness is rearranged throughout the city inspired by the Lough Foyle wetness patterns using a translation method of watercolour dripping through the perforations in the wetness pattern. The University of Daire is distributed across old abandoned textile factory sites dotting across the Daire landscape. The New Daire Forest is formed around the university as territories of wetness seep into Daire like a huge canvas dropped on an archipelago of wetness and soil.
