Since the Hurricane Sandy competition, Rebuild by Design, and the processes that were inspired by that work including, the National Disaster Resilience Competition, the Bay Area Resilient by Design Challenge, Water is Leverage, and others, have sparked interest in communities, governments academics, and researchers. To help researchers understand more about our work, and to continue to contribute to a growing portfolio of writings about the work, we have launched this library as a resource for all who are interested.
We would like to thank the University of Groningen for their partnership in locating and cataloging the articles and books that have examined our work. If you know of a resource that is not listed here, please let us know by sending an email to info@rebuildbydesign.org

Journal of Landscape Architecture: Focuses on the use of visual discourse in the Rebuild by Design participatory process, and explores how it is used as discursive materializations of power and knowledge.
Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences: The paper examines the post disaster history of a proposed resilience infrastructure capital project, the East Side Coastal Resiliency Project, part of a larger proposed resilience infrastructure design called The Big U.
Focuses on efficient strategies implemented at the local level, where collaboration within communities may be the key to effectively combating environmental damage.
International Conference on Sustainable Infrastructure 2019:
Describes the resilience strategy developed by the New York State Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery (GOSR) in order to advance the Living with the Bay proposal.
Architectural Design: To manage the impact of climate change, a mixture of global mitigation and local adaptation is needed. Alexandros Washburn presents three contrasting examples of how cities around the world have approached the latter, with varying degrees of success.
Architectural Design: Argues that it is important to not just laying down rules, but also encouraging innovation in developing strategies to withstand climate catastrophes, using the Resist, Delay, Store, Discharge plan for Hoboken to explain the argument.
Korean Society of Hazard Mitigation: Briefly introduces variations in designing strategies and approaches in rebuilding that took place in areas of Tohoku( Kesennuma City), New York (New York City), and Leyte (Tacloban City).
Journal of Urban Design: Uses a framework to explore the discourses surrounding the Rebuild by Design competition. The framework is demonstrated by partly reconstructing the socio-political context of Rebuild by Design, which is organized in the wake of hurricane Sandy in New York. The paper demonstrates how specific discourses within the socio-political context of the RbD processes influenced the interpretation of the RbD process outcomes.
Chronicles the proposal to design offshore artificial barrier islands in the New York/New Jersey Harbor.
Water: Explores whether Rebuild by Design (RBD) provides governance structures and processes needed for the uptake of green infrastructure. The results of the study indicate that RBD brought a greater change in terms of governance processes when compared to governance structures.
