Co-Design with/for Nature; Design, Engineering, and Ecological Conservation.
James Vincent Brice is a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) pursuing a dual Master of Architecture (MArch) and Master of Science (SM) in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Pulling from professional experience in wildlife zoology and a BS in Applied Physics (RPI ‘16), he explores how biophysically and socially informed design can positively impact coastal communities through research into nature-based adaptation, environmental fluid mechanics, and urban ecosystems.
Bird-watching, mathematics, coffee with dessert; catch him crouched on the sidewalk taking pictures of weeds or poking around in tidepools.
