Dr Ir Inge Bobbink I am an associate professor at the section of Landscape Architecture since 2007, in the department of Urbanism at the Technical University Delft at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment in the Netherlands. I hold a post-master degree from the Berlage Institute and obtained my PhD at Delft for the dissertation entitles "The Landscape Architecture of the Polder-boezem system, structure and form of the water network, water pattern and water work in the Dutch lowlands". In cooperation with others, I wrote, developed and since 2010 coordinate the educational program for the master track of Landscape Architecture. In addition, I teach and supervise master and PhD students, lecture internationally, and take part in the department's management team and different advisory boards. My research focuses on identifying landscape architectonic and sustainable values in (traditional) water systems worldwide. The goal is to learn from them and to transform this knowledge for today's challenges. Various book publications and articles in corporations with colleagues and students bear witness to this research agenda: https://circularwaterstories.org.

Tomas is a PhD candidate at the School of Architecture of the University of Queensland, Australia. His thesis explores urbanisation’s alteration of the natural water cycle and ways to restore it using urban design. He proposes a novel indicator framework for assessing and designing water-sensitive urban precincts. This framework is based on a spatial model of the urban water cycle -the Waterspace model, presented here-, which has been tested on an existing precinct in Brisbane. Tomas is a trained architect and urban planner, and also holds a MSc in Water and Coastal Management. His main research interests are in urban sustainability, adaptation to climate change, and coastal management and planning. He has already deposited his thesis and is currently working at the environmental consultancy Salt, in Lofoten, Norway, where he investigates climate risks and alternative adaptation pathways for Norwegian municipalities, among other pressing environmental issues for coastal communities.

Dr Emma Campbell is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in Architecture, at the School of Natural and Built Environment, Queen’s University, Belfast. Her research focuses on future relationships between people, food, and place through the lens of sustainability. As a design-researcher, she is really interested in how design and systems-thinking might help to solve some of the wicked problems inherent in food systems today. Currently, Emma works within the Innovate UK funded Ideal Home project in partnership with Moy Park, the UK’s largest poultry integrator. The project applies a research-by-design methodology to consider how the UK’s poultry farming sector might improve welfare and achieve net-zero emissions. Emma’s recently completed Ph.D. research applies a similar methodology to consider the emergence, development, and future of supermarket shopping. Her final thesis brings together thematic insights to reimagine a range of different food-retail futures. An experience public speaker, Emma has presented her ideas on sustainable food systems at conferences and workshops globally and locally, from Doha to Vancouver, Nicosia to Belfast. In Spring 2021, she recorded a TEDx talk called ‘Can bees help us to design sustainable supermarkets?’ which discusses how the principles of circularity might be embedded in a future food shopping experience.
