Thesis Highlights

"Elevated Connections"

Alexander Alves-Pingani, 2021

The contemporary city’s transportation infrastructure is unprepared for the future. The effects of climate change such as storm surge, costal erosion, urban flooding, and saltwater intrusion will greatly affect costal areas in the coming years. Urban flooding is already affecting many areas of Miami and coastal areas around the world. 

Integrating transportation systems and networks vertically can generate an architecture that is more prepared for the projected impacts of climate change while simultaneously addressing the existing condition and experience of the infrastructure.
