Competition work by Drew Adams (MArch 4) and Fadi Masoud (MLA’10) has been included in the forthcoming book, Design for Flooding: Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Design for Resilience to Climate Change, which is being released later this month.
 
Design for Flooding is a professional textbook by Donald Watson and Michele Adams published by John Wiley and Sons. The book provides a knowledge base and guidelines for design professionals and municipal officials involved with flooding, severe weather, climate change, and the prospect of rising sea level. Their project, About Rising Tides: It’s the Delta Stupid, is one of eight international works selected for a chapter focused on examples that address: stormwater and floodplain management; flood-resistant design and adaptation to sea level rise; multidisciplinary design approaches; and innovative design and construction for protection and improvement of water security.
 
Originally, their project received an Honourable Mention in the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) ‘Rising Tides’ Competition in 2009 from one hundred and thirty open submissions that included professionals and practitioners from eighteen countries.
