Design for Flooding: Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Design for Climate Change
Design for Flooding presents a multi-disciplinary approach for designing communities that are more adaptable to rising sea levels. Innovative design and technical construction methods are explored through an understanding of climate and water management fundamentals.
“Design for Flooding should be a major tool for the design professions, for public agencies, and for civic activists, indeed for everyone who wishes to bring a genuinely ‘intelligent’ design for water to their communities. It is a call to action and demonstrates that we have the knowledge, the tools, and the capability to better manage the water system on which we depend.”
