Geospatial modeling as basis for design intelligence.

Research

ALI research focuses on hydrologic urbanisms, soft infrastructures, and adaptive architectures that uncouple water from energy and support diverse cultures to adapt and persist in drylands.  ALI’s applied research, led by Peter Arnold, uses geospatial environmental modeling to assess the potentials for capture and reuse of stormwater, in both urban and rural drylands settings. The modeling serves as a basis for formulating and evaluating constructive strategies for inspired place-making in a resilient built environment.
