Lecture's subject
The E+ BIP “Disrupting the Corridor: New Scenarios for Water/Ground Mobilities” investigates how water, land, and energy infrastructures interact across the Adriatic land-sea basin. In particular, it centers on the terraqueous corridor between Albania and Italy (Apulia) and its main “material anchors”: the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), thermoelectric power complexes (such as Brindisi-Cerano), and port cities (Brindisi, Bari, Durrës). Each lecture will propose perspectives for observing these territories, between water and land.
Speakers: Nancy Couling and Milica Topalović, ETH Zürich; Nelson Mota, TU Delft; Moritz Ahlert, TU Berlin; Alejandro Campos Uribe and José Durán Fernández, UPV València; Elena Batunova, RWTH Aachen
