澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 School of Architecture in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters has been invited to showcase two of its research areas at the sixth edition of 鈥,鈥 the extensive architecture biennial on exhibition in Venice, Italy from Saturday, May 20 through Sunday, Nov. 26, in conjunction with La Biennale Architettura. 鈥淭ime, Space, Existence鈥 brings together more than 200 participants, including architects, universities, developers, engineering companies and others, who together have a crucial role in shaping the way we will live in the future.

The first 澳门六合彩历史记录 installation is 鈥淪alty Urbanism,鈥 which was conceived and developed as a framework for regional adaptation to sea level rise. As South Florida begins to address the inevitable future of climate change and sea level rise, the project envisions a new framework for urban design and architecture that embeds ecosystem services and adjusts to increasingly salty landscapes. 聽The 鈥淪alty Urbanism鈥 framework provides communities with an Adaptation Design and Planning Tool (ADaPT) that embeds ecological processes within urban infrastructure and public space networks to develop urban design solutions that tie together architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, planning and sciences that can be replicated around the world.

鈥淭he Venice exhibition will allow the 澳门六合彩历史记录 team to showcase the results of the last six years of research on a global platform that will galvanize 澳门六合彩历史记录 as a thought leader on adaptation,鈥 said Jeffrey Huber, associate professor in the School of Architecture. 聽鈥淭his will build upon the project鈥檚 recognition as a model for coastal communities.鈥

The project was funded by two NOAA Florida Sea Grants awards and a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town Grant. 鈥淪alty Urbanism鈥 is a collaboration between 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 School of Architecture, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Center for Environmental Studies, and Department of Civil Engineering, as well as Huber鈥檚 professional office of Brooks + Scarpa.

In 2018, 鈥淪alty Urbanism鈥 won a national American Institute of Architects (AIA) Regional and Urban Design Institute Honor Award, which is the highest award the profession of architecture can bestow upon a project and was the first ever won by the 澳门六合彩历史记录 School of Architecture and the first for any School of Architecture in the state of Florida. In addition to the national award, Salty Urbanism has also won several state and local design awards. 聽

澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 School of Architecture has set up a funding page to support travel and shipping for the 鈥淪alty Urbanism鈥 exhibition in Venice. For more information, visit . For more information about the program, email huberj@fau.edu.

The second 澳门六合彩历史记录 installation, 鈥淔reeze and Clay,鈥 is a demonstration of natural material innovations with ceramics and glass. In particular, the piece celebrates those who make, not only those who design. The installation is a collaboration between 澳门六合彩历史记录 School of Architecture, including Joseph Choma, Ph.D., director, and聽 undergraduate students Daniel Lasso and Jerry Velasquez, and MuDD Architects (based in Barcelona and Paris). The design team has partnered with two international leaders in manufacturing and craftsmanship to produce modules for the sculpture. Laufen, the Swiss sanitary technology company, is producing a dozen hallow ceramic modules and聽TiPii Atelier, the French glass blowing company, is making 10 handmade glass modules.

鈥淭ogether these exquisitely crafted modules aggregate to give the visual illusion of polyhedral geometries floating in space,鈥 said Choma. 鈥淭he overall figure and scale of the sculpture abstractly suggests the bodily posture of a person viewing art on display.鈥

聽澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 School of Architecture offers a five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree, the shortest professionally accredited degree by the National Architectural Accrediting Board for students with no previous college degree, and allows students a clear path to licensure with the completion of this undergraduate degree.
