Design Challenge:

The 3C competition intends to catalyze the discussion of rezoning towns that are vulnerable to coastal storms. The post-Sandy rebuilding process has already begun, yet there are no strategies on how rebuilding communities can accommodate transforming coastal housing typologies. ORLI is establishing channels through the Office of Emergency Management in order for ideas from the 3C competition to help local municipalities preserve the value of their neighborhoods.

ORLI is a student-led grassroots committee of architecture, interior design, and construction management students some of which were directly affected by the storm. The committee exists as a collaborative response to Super-storm Sandy, founded to explore and develop methods to aid local communities by finding long-term resilient design solutions.
