Student participants in SWA’s 2011 Summer Program were tasked

with examining the problems and opportunities resulting from sea

level rise along Sausalito’s waterfront, using a variety of viewpoints,

scales and comparisons. Each week’s studio problem was directed

by a principal representing one of SWA’s offices, supported by an

associate and staff member from Sausalito. Outside speakers

contributed technical insights. Each week concluded with a Friday

afternoon presentation of student work, attended by a panel of

experts or “jury”.
