Our nationally ranked FIU School of Architecture (fiu_soa ) faculty and students’ impactful work was highlighted this past weekend on CBS Saturday Morning News. Featuring the innovate work of our Robotics + Digital Fabrication Lab, our Doctor of Design students, and our renowned faculty.

Our fiu_soa Professor Thomas Spiegelhalter’s architecture students are studying how rising sea levels will affect the future of South Florida infrastructures during the hurricane season. In his interview with CBS, he explained how his students are using artificial intelligence to plan future cities, including design scenarios of floating and stilt buildings with resilient green-blue infrastructures from now to the year 2100. These designs show metropolises and structures that mimic natural shapes to withstand future hurricane storms and impact from erosion. 

The Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab, directed by Dr. Shahin Vassigh, is dedicated to advancing the built environment through technological innovation. Dr. Vassigh, along with post-doctoral candidate Sara Pezeshk, has researched the use of 3-D printing to develop bio-tiles that can reduce coastal erosion and counteract the negative impacts of sea-level rise. 

The work done by #FIUSoA is in support of the FIU’s Distinction for Environmental Resilience and working with community organizations to develop and implement solutions-centered initiatives focused on sustainable cities and communities, especially for South Florida during the hurricane season.
