Design - Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
The second International Conference on Amphibious Architecture, Design and Engineering will be held at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada from June 25 to 28, 2017. ICAADE 2017 will unite academics, practitioners, professionals and policymakers in the exchange of knowledge on amphibious flood mitigation strategies by inviting collaboration among research institutions, businesses, and governments around the world. Flood mitigation and climate change adaptation requires the development of new housing types and retrofit strategies to preserve our built and natural environment, and maintain community integrity in populated regions where flooding is expected to increase.ICAADE 2017 will create a transdisciplinary environment by drawing representatives from a broad range of disciplines such as water management, urban and landscape design, architecture, hydrology, engineering, the social sciences and humanities, building construction and codification, education and health, and experts from fields such as commerce, policy, information systems, knowledge management and insurance.ICAADE 2017 is structured in three parts: An Amphibious Design Student Workshop from June 20th – 24th; the ICAADE 2017 Conference from June 25th – 28th; and a post-conference Amphibious Policy Symposium from June 29th – 30th.
