Florida architect designs resilient coastal infrastructure to combat climate change

Jeffrey Huber, a landscape architect and professor, is designing resilient infrastructure in Florida in response to the increasing frequency of extreme weather events. His work focuses on adapting coastal communities to rising sea levels and intensifying storms, drawing from his childhood experience of losing his home to Hurricane Andrew. Huber's approach emphasizes living with water rather than solely preventing it, integrating urban design with infrastructure to create more durable residential buildings and public spaces. Startups like Kind Designs are also contributing by developing innovative solutions such as 3D-printed living seawalls that protect shorelines while fostering marine habitats. AI
