The Weitzman School Presents: Jamie Vanucchi

On March 14, 2024, the Department of Landscape Architecture presented a lecture by Jamie Vanucchi titled "Tools for Designers in Changing Climates And Uncertain Futures."
How does one design buildings, cities, and landscapes in increasingly uncertain times? Jamie Vanucchi, associate professor at Cornell University in the Department of Landscape Architecture, discusses approaches to managing the unknown (engineering, science) and working with and through uncertainty (design) using an array of tools, such as scenario and disturbance tests, future imaging, and others. Tools discussed are compiled from Vanucchi's teaching at Cornell and SUNY-ESF, and from a group of contributors to an upcoming book titled 'Design Research for Uncertain Futures' (ORO, 2024), co-edited with Dr. Ozayr Saloojee and Dr. Sarah Dooling.
