SUMMARY:Evening Educational Program: Resilient Waterways\, Watersheds & Their Cities
DESCRIPTION:Derek Hoeferlin’s “Way Beyond Bigness” design-research project comparatively studies the Mekong\, Mississippi and Rhine river basins\, focused on multi-scaled\, water-based infrastructural transformation and their various impacts on riverways\, cities\, and larger regions\, particularly when coupled with the impacts of climate change. “Way Beyond Bigness” realigns watersheds and architecture across multiple scales\, disciplines\, narratives. Hoeferlin will frame the impacts on rivers and cities from a larger perspective at the scale of watersheds. \nColin Wellenkamp in his role of Executive Director of an association of 101 U.S. Mayors along the Mississippi River\, will outline the tremendous challenges facing America’s Waterways. Additionally\, Colin will detail what cities are doing at corridor scale to address the challenges described and achieve a new degree of climate resilience and mitigation for at least a generation. However\, this is a new moment for the Mississippi Corridor – the Jobs Act coupled with new partnerships spearheaded by the Mayors have created a unique opportunity. \nSPECIAL REMARKS \nHon.
