Format
The Assembly is structured as an evening of concise but substantial presentations, each focused on a single project rather than a broad office overview. This format is intended to create a clear and engaging public program for a mixed audience of designers, students, coastal practitioners and interested coastal citizens. At the end of the evening, each speaker will be invited to respond to the same closing prompt: What is one coastal intervention, design or idea you’d like to exist, and what would have to change to make it possible?
