Thesis Update

Thesis Update – Spring 2013
By: Jonathan Smith

Recently, I gave an updated presentation for my thesis that helped to clarify the scope of the project. The highlights of the presentation are shown below in order to update readers on the progress of the research.
Project Overview:
This thesis project was initially intended to be directed towards designing a city on water based upon the research of rising sea levels and environmental changes. After a great deal of research, it became more and more apparent that the parameters for designing such a fictitious city are too difficult to apply to multiple situations. I then decided to alter the project towards developing a model for current coastal cities to follow in order mitigate rising sea levels. This will be more beneficial because it is applicable to our current environment and is not arbitrary in comparison to the previous project.
