Very happy to see Alec Paulson’s project, developed within the Addis Ababa River City Research Project at Tulane, receive a Student Merit Award from the 2026 CNU Charter Awards jury.

Congratulations, Alec.

Rivers and streets are understood as one system— linking water management, mobility, public space, and everyday urban life.

[CajondeArquitecto @CajonArquitecto]

The research explores how water can move from a technical problem to a design framework— linking territory, streets, and everyday urban life.

Last Saturday, we concluded the Symposium "Water Paradoxes: The Atacama Desert as an Extreme Laboratory for Climate, Extraction, and Design" at Tulane University School of Architecture and Built Environment (@TulaneArch)

[CajondeArquitecto @CajonArquitecto]

We leave with more questions than we arrived with. That feels right.
