Book cover showing a calm gray-blue body of water with dark, weathered wooden pilings jutting up from the surface and reflecting in the ripples. White text reads: “MORE WATER LESS LAND NEW ARCHITECTURE: Sea Level Rise and the Future of Coastal Urbanism,” by Weston Wright. Smaller text at the bottom reads: “Forewords by Kenneth Frampton and Ana Tostoes. Afterwords by Karsten Harries and Rasmus Waern.” The AADR logo appears in the top right corner.

Drawing on ideas from his book "More Water Less Land New Architecture," Wright will examine how the relationship between land and water has shaped cities, policies, and development patterns, and why many of those frameworks are increasingly misaligned with climate realities.
