Today’s cities are facing huge challenges. They are confronted with increased and uncontrolled urbanization, higher risks of flooding, scarcity of water for industry, households and ecosystems, rising pollution, ground subsidence, and climate change. These trends will have large consequences for the way we design our cities, neighborhoods and buildings. Recent experiences have shown that amphibious architecture, design and construction are gaining prominence in catalyzing the transformation of our future urban landscapes to better deal with these challenges.
ICAADE2015 is the first International Conference on Amphibious Architecture, Design and Engineering. It will provide a forum for the presentation, discussion and sharing of research, knowledge and field experience governing all relevant aspects of amphibious architecture, design, and construction. The objective of the conference is to promote interaction among academics, researchers and other professionals within the disciplines of (urban) planning, architecture, design, and construction thereby furthering the development of a international learning community on this emerging topic.
