Designing landscapes and social spaces that foster resilience, vitality and equity.
In a recent talk, Chris Reed shared work identifying climate risks facing the Sarasota, Florida’s Downtown Bayfront, exploring how rising seas, storms, flooding, and increasing heat are impacting this area and the rgion’s iconic legacy of mid-century houses that embrace landscape and the environment.
The presentation highlighted research developed through the Climate Case seminar at Harvard GSD featuring work by students across the Master in Landscape Architecture, Master of Architecture, Master in Design Studies, and Master in Urban Design programs, who are documenting vulnerabilities and helping frame strategies for protecting these important buildings and landscapes.
The research was recently featured in Sarasota Magazine, read the full article and report at the links in our bio!
