On Thursday, February 12th, Marilys Nepomechie, FAIA (Professor of Architecture) and Marta Canavés, ASLA, IIDA (Associate in Design, FIU LAEUD) will moderate a panel discussion at the Coral Gables Museum titled Designing the Resilient City. This discussion is one of several events coinciding with the exhibition MIAMI 2100: Envisioning a Resilient Second Century. The panel will include Kai-Uwe Bergmann (BIG | Copenhagen), Daniel Pittman (OMA | Rotterdam), and Daniel Vasini (West 8 | Rotterdam).
MIAMI 2100 takes a comprehensive look at the topic of climate change and sea level rise, with a focus on our region and on the broad range of disciplinary research currently underway on our natural and built environments. FIU Architecture Instructor Eric Peterson, working with a team of architecture and landscape architecture students, configured the exhibition galleries, and constructed a large-scale interactive model of Miami which utilizes LiDAR data to depict the predicted effects of sea level rise on the city over the coming century.
Designing the Resilient City will take place on Thursday, February 12th, 2015 from 6PM to 8PM at the Coral Gables Museum: 285 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134. Miami 2100: Envisioning a Resilient Second Century will remain on view until March 1st, 2015. For museum admission fees, visit the Coral Gables Museum online.
