Awed as a young child by the majesty of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, civil engineer and MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) Fellow Zane Schemmer has retained his fascination with bridges: what they look like, why they work, and how they're designed and built. He weighed the choice between architecture and engineering when heading off to college, but, motivated by the why and how of structural engineering, selected the latter. Now he incorporates design as an iterative process in the writing of algorithms that perfectly balance the forces involved in discrete portions of a structure

In late July, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association recommended funding for a new collaborative project aimed at reducing flooding around the Sapelo Island Gullah Geechee community known as Hog Hummock. Like many of Georgia’s barrier islands, Sapelo Island and it’s communities are susceptible to coastal flooding, sea-level rise, and other coastal hazards. With the proposed funding, the Hogg Hummock-based non-profit organization Save Our Legacy Ourself (SOLO) will lead the project with support from the University of Georgia’s Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems (IRIS) and Shell
