Abstract
The Resilient Coastal Landscapes graduation lab investigates how a landscape-based regional design approach can enhance the resilience of coastal areas worldwide. This approach emphasizes the dynamic relationship between natural and urban systems across spatial and temporal scales. By using the landscape as a foundation for sustainable urban development, it leverages research through design to explore the potential of landscape architecture in creating water-sensitive environments, implementing nature-based solutions, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering socially inclusive, ecological development. Inherently transdisciplinary, this landscape-driven methodology uses the power of design to navigate today’s complex challenges—bridging long-term visions with actionable, short-term interventions. The projects showcased here illustrate the broad potential of this approach: from conserving natural systems and mitigating flood risks to guiding sustainable urban transformation and cultivating a deeper harmony between nature and culture.
