An exhibition by Mississippi State's Gulf Coast Interdisciplinary Studio is on display in Jackson at the Arts Center of Mississippi through August 30. A closing reception will be held at the center on Aug. 22 at 6 p.m.
The exhibit, “Gulf Coast Interdisciplinary Studio: Towards an Equitable and Adaptive Architecture,” showcases work by the Gulf Coast Interdisciplinary Studio that explores ways architecture and landscape architecture can respond and adapt for climate, weather and natural disasters while also considering the challenges faced by rising housing costs and unbalanced development. The studio worked with community partners with a goal of of emphasizing community resiliency, affordable housing and integrated landscape ecologies.
Architecture and landscape architecture majors in the studio along with students in an interdisciplinary research seminar learned from and engaged with Gulf Coast Research Scholars, Gulf Coast community partners and other individuals whose work focuses on environmental change, resilient communities, adaptive landscapes, human geography, socio-economic impact, and other related topic areas. Support for this initiative was provided by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) through the NASEM Gulf Research Program interdisciplinary design studio grants.
