Floodscape Urbanism: Architectural Design Strategies for Manila at Risk, a PhD thesis completed in 2018, explored the problem of sea level change in densely crowded cities and the expanded role of architecture and design in the innovation of water management in four contemporary cities: Manila, New Orleans, Hamburg and Dhaka. With much ground already covered on cross-disciplinary approaches in flood risk management, my research considers the discussion of flood adaptation through the lens of ecological urbanism and architectural design.
