Final Presentation
On December 5th, we presented our semester-long project in partnership with Windham Regional Commission in Southern Vermont. Over the past four months, our studio has worked with the towns of Dover, Readsboro, Whitingham, and Wilmington to better understand how climate-driven flooding, limited municipal capacity, and shifting economic and demographic conditions are shaping the region's future. Led by Professor Camille Barchers, the studio combined local knowledge, regional data, scenario planning, and public engagement to develop equitable and lasting tools to help communities navigate uncertainty and plan for a more resilient environment.
