Living above water – from Lake Constance to the Amazon. This seminar explores stilt houses as climate-responsive architecture. From prehistoric lake dwellings at Lake Constance to today’s casas ribeirinhas in Brazil, elevated structures reflect how humans adapt to rising and falling water levels. By linking cultural context and climate, we examine how traditional building methods can inspire sustainable living spaces today.
Led by Prof. Myriam Gautschi (HTWG Konstanz) with Prof. Julie Cattant (ENSA Lyon), Prof. Ana Karina Rodrigues (HABITAR AMAZONIA, Macapá) and Prof. Constance Zurmendi (FADU Montevideo).

Relation to water Trade played an important role, as finds of goods imported from far away show, and agriculture and fishing were the main sources of food. Due to their location on the water, the pile dwellings provided a good basis for fishing and access to zufruchtbaren land.
