The WaterSchool is a speculative school designed and organised around water as an essential material, subject and social phenomenon. It proposes a rethinking of the economic and infrastructural model of education: this school could produce everything it needs to function onsite through small-scale industrial collaborations with selected designers and artists.

Within the framework of exhibitions, Studio Makkink & Bey acts as a curator, inviting upcoming artists and designers to present their work in thematic exhibitions and series of lectures. Through uniting works within a speculative framework, Studio Makkink & Bey hints towards a future in which art and design are more integrated into education and life in general. In the exhibitions, projects are categorised according to themes, being Clean, Grow, Harvest, Make, Build and Document. Each of these themes pertains to a broader context and water-related issue, as well as a space and an act.
