ACADEMIC PROJECT: FALL 2025

Climate Change in Coastal Regions Coastal cities like Corpus Christi are facing increasing vulnerability from sea-level rise, intensified storms, and chronic flooding; threats that challenge not only infrastructure but the very identity of waterfront life. Once celebrated as a place of recreation and economy, the shoreline has become a zone of risk and retreat. As climate change continues to reshape coastlines, new design approaches are needed to transform these fragile thresholds into resilient, living systems that embrace rather than resist water.
