Dust and the Salton Sea - Urban Design for the Climate Crisis

Just a hundred miles to the east of San Diego, one of the largest
inland lakes in the West is drying up as a result combined human
activity and climate change. The exposed lake bed is rapidly
turning into a source of dust, worsening the frequent dust storms
that impact the people who live in the surrounding areas. Learn
about the intersection of architecture and science in this stark
but magnificent landscape in a conversation with Climate Scientist
Amato Evan and Architect Gillian Shaffer Lutsko. Discover how
collaborations with local activists, policy groups, scientists and
indigenous communities inspired an architectural project that
envisions how we can unite conversations around redevelopment, the
climate crisis, public health and community-led design. Series:
