Hydro power encompasses both the technical infrastructure of water-based energy generation and the architectural responses to living and building in proximity to water systems. Designers working in this space address ecological impacts, landscape integration, and the spatial possibilities created by reservoirs, lakesides, and water-dependent sites.

The community explores residential and civic projects situated on water-adjacent land, from lakeside homes disguised as boathouses to houses built on reservoir peninsulas, alongside conceptual work examining hydro farming systems, water-related ecological concerns, and infrastructure design that responds to hydrological conditions.
