Design and Politics: Managing Risks and Vulnerabilities (Harvard GSD Studio Reports) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Contemporary spatial design faces a political paradox. To address emerging environmental challenges and the risk of climate-related disasters, it must transcend political boundaries to operate regionally, at the scale of “landscape urbanism.” In the Hurricane Sandy-affected region, states, counties, and municipalities grappled with the reality of sea-level rise and climate risk. The Presidential Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force sought an innovative approach and in 2013 launched the Rebuild by Design competition, a collaborative process for driving resilience across the region. The spring 2014 studio, like Rebuild by Design, aimed to find ways of directing disaster-relief spending across boundaries and identified layers of risks and vulnerabilities by designing spatial and political systems with significant regional impact.
