-
Published:February 2025
The Dutch have long been leaders in water engineering, and this chapter reviews the historic paradigm shift away from enframing and toward poiesis, exemplified in the Room for the River program and an experiment in rewilding the Oostvardersplassen. The chapter briefly discusses ontological resonances between orthodox Christianity and enframing and animism and poiesis.
