This design research project aims to visualize in-place adaptation strategies to address sea level rise for the coastal, urban context of Waikīkī throughout the 21st century. The process merges architectural design with the current science to create urban architectural renderings to incrementally adapt the city to the effects of rising sea levels, more intense precipitation, and extreme temperatures. First, faculty and students studied emerging flood resilience guides, exemplar buildings, and the latest sea level rise science. Second, the team identified the physical flood adaptation strategies with conceptual relevance for Waikīkī and solicited feedback on their relevance and feasibility from over 70 diverse, locally-based stakeholders. The feedback was compiled into a publicly-available report and used to inform the strategies selected for visualizations. In addition, the research informs policy with proposed methods for determining future design flood elevations for buildings.  The team is continuing this research with other sites in Waikīkī to further develop adaptation strategies.
