CONGRATULATIONS TO SOA PROFESSOR JEFFREY HUBER ON THE RELEASE OF SALTY URBANISM: A DESIGN MANUAL FOR SEA LEVEL RISE ADAPTATION IN URBAN AREAS

We are thrilled to congratulate Jeffrey Huber, a principal at Brooks + Scarpa and a professor at the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University, on the release of his highly anticipated manual, Salty Urbanism: A Design Manual for Sea Level Rise Adaptation in Urban Areas. This significant work marks a milestone in the ongoing conversation about climate change and urban resilience.

In Salty Urbanism, Huber draws on his extensive experience in architecture and urban design to offer a comprehensive framework for integrating adaptive strategies into the urban fabric. The manual explores innovative design solutions that not only mitigate the impacts of rising sea levels but also enhance community resilience and sustainability.

Huber’s expertise as both a practitioner and educator shines through in this work. His dual role allows him to bridge the gap between theoretical concepts and practical application, making this manual an invaluable resource for architects, urban planners, policymakers, and students alike.

As urban areas continue to grapple with the realities of climate change, Salty Urbanism serves as a vital guide for designing spaces that are not only functional but also responsive to their ecological context. With case studies, design principles, and actionable strategies, this book is a call to action for communities to rethink their approach to urban development in the face of environmental challenges.

We also extend our congratulations to the contributors who have joined Huber in this important endeavor. Their insights and collaborative efforts have enriched the manual, providing a diverse range of perspectives and solutions.

Don’t miss out on this essential resource! Salty Urbanism is now available for purchase at ORO Editions. We look forward to the positive impact this work will have on the future of urban adaptation.
