Visualizing possible Waikīkī sea-level rise adaptation strategies for buildings, utilities, transportation and open spaces in the years 2050 and 2100 through conceptual renderings earned an interdisciplinary team from the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa an honorable mention award in the urban design category from American Planning Association Hawaiʻi<\/span> Chapter (APA-HI<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

The project “Envisioning Sea Level Rise Adaptation in Waikīkī, HI” was recognized at the 2023 Chapter Awards Program in September. The APA-HI<\/abbr> recognized the project\u2019s excellence of thought, analysis and graphics that “create a sense of place.”<\/p>\n

\"award<\/p>\n

The team emphasized adaptations with recreational, cultural and economic benefits through gathering feedback from more than 200 stakeholders through six public presentations and discussions hosted by 东精影业<\/abbr> from 2021–23. Since then, the work has been presented to more than 700 people from diverse disciplines.<\/p>\n

“The recognition from the APA-HI<\/abbr> and AIA<\/abbr> Honolulu demonstrates the value of visualizing sea-level rise adaptation at both the urban and building scales,” said the team members. “We are glad to see the renderings and stakeholder feedback become a launching pad for discussion by professionals, policy-makers and community members. We look forward to continuing discussions to inform pilot projects, policies and design guides.”<\/p>\n

The project\u2019s team members represent 东精影业<\/abbr> Mānoa\u2019s School of Architecture<\/a>, Environmental Research and Design Laboratory; Hawaiʻi<\/span> Sea Grant<\/a>, Center for Smart Building and Community Design; and School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology<\/a>, Climate Resilience Collaborative.<\/p>\n

Project collaborators include principal investigator Wendy Meguro; co-investigator Charles “Chip” Fletcher; climate change adaptation specialist Josephine Briones; climate resilience specialist Georgina Casey; graduate research assistants Gerry Failano and Eric Teeples; junior research assistant Desiree Malabed; and rendering tutors Chris Lomboy and Andrew Tang. Other contributors include Ireland Castillo, Eileen Peppard, Melanie Lander, Dolan Eversole and Aiko Tells. Funding was provided by Hawaiʻi<\/span> Sea Grant, National Sea Grant, and the Office of Naval Research.<\/p>\n
