fLOODS

Collaborative Community Design Initiative No. 5

 

FLOODS was developed in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and is focused on the relationship between design and resilience in an era of climate change. Floods assembles the most significant challenges and embedded opportunities in four Houston neighborhoods that experienced significant disruption as a result of the storm. The work points to new ways to practice community design within a changing global and urban context and moves forward to envision more resilient and equitable communities.  

 

The project was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and Japan Business Association of Houston
