Event Date: Mar 24, 2023; Event City: Brooklyn, NY, US Condensations – Designing in WaterExploring the value of design in issues of water safety, access, quality, and delivery in urban areas Friday, March 24thThree consecutive panel discussions, 1 to 6 PMHiggins Hall Auditorium (61 St. James Place)Pratt Institute’s Brooklyn CampusFree and open to the public, please register here. As water levels rise and storms become more intense and frequent around many of our world’s growing cities, the threats to our homes, roads, energy systems, water quality - virtually every aspect of our built environment - are also rising exponentially. We need to focus interdisciplinary design-based research, economic means and policy on climate adaptation. Please join Pratt Institute, along with Rebuild by Design and Water as Leverage, for three consecutive panel discussions focused on design strategies and solutions for these urgent water-focused concerns on a local and global level, and how we can and must move from mitigation to adaptation. This panel series is a Side Event to the United Nations Official Water Conference. The panels will include brief presentations from a panel of experts, as well as offer opportunities for audience participation.
