IMPLANT

Code AMA022


Succesive flooding of the land together with the simultaneous analysis of the relations between hipsometry of the area and the level of the water table invites us to see the treatment of the exemplary area as an implant which uses the mechanism of water as a carrier. The collision of the land environment and the water environment causes these implants to be pulled out of the natural setting, and results in the tectonic transformation in the process in which the implant is floated by a new carrier. Seen in this aspect, concepts like: catastrophe or disaster are devaluated. We cannot also talk about the loss of the natural environment, and respectively there is no restriction of man`s habitat. The only change concerns the standard of life literally and metaphorically perceived as a model of amphibious living.

Each year huge area is flooded by water which causes death of hundreds of people and losses reaching billions of dollars. In consideration of this fact the potential of the areas facing the risk of flooding (often for a long time) is not used at all or is used minimally. The change of the land environment to the water environment or to land-water environment is a natural process, and man`s interference in spite of disastrous effects should be well - thought - out and should be limited to the necessary minimum.

The main purpose should not be battling which causes irreversible changes in the landscape, but the skillful adaptation and use of the environment potential. Succesive flooding of the land together with the simultaneous analysis of the relations between hipsometry of the area and the level of the water table invites us to see the treatment of the exemplary area as an implant which uses the mechanism of water as a carrier. The collision of the land environment and the water environment causes these implants to be pulled out of the natural setting, and results in the tectonic transformation in the process in which the implant is floated by a new carrier. Seen in this aspect, concepts like: catastrophe or disaster are devaluated. We cannot also talk about the loss of the natural environment, and respectively there is no restriction of man`s habitat.

The only change concerns the standard of life literally and metaphorically perceived as a model of amphibious living. Of importance is also here the natural character of the process without the introduction of elements of artificial landscape. The implant which is located in quite a new - aquatic environment adjusts to its properties, at the same time remaining in close relation with the matrix of the land environment.
