2. Lecture: Brian Orland
Wednesday, November 14 at 4:30 PM
Jackson Street Building Room 123
The challenges of designing within the coupled natural-human systems of contemporary cities and landscapes to respond to climate change, the risk of natural disasters and equal access to healthy environments are often termed "wicked" problems—where many interacting systems are in play, the outcomes uncertain, and the implications ambiguous. Geodesign addresses such problems well but many participants are ill-prepared to participate; planners, scientists, policy-makers and citizens are unfamiliar with each others' core principles, values, methods and metrics for success. This talk proposes geo-inspired story-telling, game-playing and exploration as starting points toward co-discovery of solutions.
