Calibrating Coastal Resilience presents a conceptual reimagining of place in the era of climate change. The urban terroir framework introduced by the authors offers a holistic, data-driven approach to assessing vulnerabilities in the built environment and in designing cities. Inspired by the hyperlocal relationships between humans, cultural traditions, and urban and natural contexts, the authors develop a place-based, historically sympathetic methodology for guiding climate-related urban policies, designs, and actions in coastal areas. Coastal communities have been among the first to experience the devastating consequences of the climate crisis. Using case studies from South Florida, the book illustrates the unique climate risks for this region, including flooding, hurricane, and sea-level rise scenarios, with a focus on the preservation of historic neighborhoods and buildings and reinforcement of built structures. Drawing from the authors’ extensive experience in community planning and historic preservation in cities severely affected by the impacts of climate change, this book introduces practical methods for identifying and aligning preservation goals with resilience needs, including a novel and comprehensive methodology that combines their Storm Surge Building Vulnerability (SSVB) additive model with a Synoptic Survey digital method and associated proticols, and a cultural asset benchmarking system that intersects resilience and preservation objectives. Refined through real-life application and the experience of Southeast Florida preparing for and responding to climate change, these techniques are highly specialized yet designed for ease of implementation. A valuable resource for professionals and students of architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, and local governments globally, Calibrating Coastal Resilience offers communities clear guidelines and actionable steps toward creating place-based resilience planning strategies to safeguard the natural and built landscapes of their region.

Extreme Weather Beacons explores the remarkable history and architectural engineering behind lighthouses, those steadfast guardians of the sea. These structures, vital for maritime navigation, showcase incredible coastal resilience and innovative design to combat extreme weather. The book highlights how these beacons have evolved to withstand some of natureâs fiercest challenges, from hurricane resistance to tsunami protection, thus representing a blend of historical architecture and engineering innovation. The book delves into the architectural adaptations that enable lighthouses to endure. The use of specific structural geometries is discussed, as well as materials that defy immense forces, and the use of unique foundation techniques. The book examines how maritime history and polar storms have influenced lighthouse design, and how historical records and engineering reports provide insight into their construction and performance. Beginning with the basics of lighthouse design and their historical significance, Extreme Weather Beacons progresses through how they combat hurricane-force winds, withstand the impact of tsunamis, and endure freezing polar conditions. It concludes with modern preservation efforts, offering valuable lessons applicable to contemporary coastal infrastructure and beacon preservation.

To best serve current and future generations, infrastructure needs to be resilient to the changing world while using limited resources in a sustainable manner. Research on and funding towards sustainability and resilience are growing rapidly, and significant research is being carried out at a number of institutions and centers worldwide. This handbook brings together current research on sustainable and resilient infrastructure and, in particular, stresses the fundamental nexus between sustainability and resilience. It aims to coalesce work from a large and diverse group of contributors across a wide range of disciplines including engineering, technology and informatics, urban planning, public policy, economics, and finance. Not only does it present a theoretical formulation of sustainability and resilience but it also demonstrates how these ideals can be realized in practice. This work will provide a reference text to students and scholars of a number of disciplines.

This book gathers the proceedings of the INPUT2023 Conference on ‘Innovation in Urban and Regional Planning.’ The 12th International Conference INPUT was held at the University of L'Aquila, Italy, on September 6–8, 2023, and brought together international scholars in the fields of planning, civil engineering and architecture, ecology, and social science, to strengthen the knowledge on nature-based solutions and to enhance the implementation and replication of these solutions in different contexts. The book represents the state of the art of modeling and computational approaches to innovations in urban and regional planning, with a transdisciplinary and borderless character to address the complexity of contemporary socio-ecological systems and following a practice-oriented and problem-solving approach. Computational tools, technologies, data, mathematical models, and decision support tools are explored for providing innovative spatial planning modeling methodologies.

Côte d’Ivoire is highly exposed to climate change through rising temperatures and sea levels as well as rain pattern changes. Economic vulnerabilities to climate change are mostly due to the country’s heavy reliance on agriculture, and the concentration of industrial and services activity in coastal areas. Agriculture employs about half of the workforce and contributes about 17 percent of GDP and 10 percent of tax revenues. At the same time, greenhouse gas emission and pollution in urban areas are growing, albeit from a low level.

CA2RE / CA2RE+, the Conference for Artistic and Architectural Research, is dedicated to promoting Design-Driven Doctoral Research (DDDr) through its conference series. This initiative aims to strengthen and expand the community of researchers interested in this subject. The Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at Delft University of Technology has gladly provided the platform for this noteworthy conference. The central theme of this event revolves around the “RECOMMENDATION” for Design-Driven Doctoral Research. This theme is a natural progression from the main topics explored in the previous CA2RE+ conferences, which included OBSERVATION, SHARING, COMPARISON, REFLECTION, and FRAMEWORK. The CA2RE+ Delft conference seeks to scrutinize the progress made thus far and endeavors to formulate guidelines and recommendations for the establishment, introduction, development, and evaluation of DDDr.
