A new anthology, Sustainable Coastal Design and Planning (CRC Press – Taylor Francis Group), edited by Professor Elizabeth Mossop, Dean of the Faculty of Design Architecture & Building, explores the issue of effective design for coastal communities in the face of climate change. The book brings together contributions from leading international practitioners and scholars to outline new paradigms for thinking and designing ‘the coastal’. Instead of a singular line dividing land and water, coastlines are presented as variegated and complex ecosystems – whether of beaches, bays, estuaries, deltas, lagoons, wetlands, cliffs, reefs – with a thick zone of sandbars, barrier islands, dunes, marshes, as well as human-constructed infrastructures, that frame the shifting realities of their dynamics. Contributions range from considerations of the ‘geovisualization’ of complex coastal environments to historical accounts of the construction of institutional expertise around coastline management; from vernacular architectural tactics for surviving unpredictable coastal climates to designing new ecological dunescapes with the assistance of new mathematical modelling of storm surge effects; from the specifics of the Mekong or New Orleans to global challenges that find common cause across multiple coastal environments.
