AAD Arguments with Miho Mazereeuw

Wed, Jun 10    11:15am

Miho Mazereeuw is one of the Mission Directors of the MIT Climate Project, an institute-wide effort to address the world’s accelerating climate crisis. Trained as an architect and landscape architect, she is an associate professor in the School of Architecture and Planning at MIT. Mazereeuw taught at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and worked in the offices of Shigeru Ban, Dan Kiley as well as the Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam prior to joining as a faculty member of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Mazereeuw also leads the Urban Risk Lab, which focuses on designing resilient cities that are prepared for risks such as earthquakes, flooding, cyclones, and heat stress. The multi-disciplinary team engages in action research through extensive field work and community workshops both locally and abroad to meet the needs of diverse cultures and contexts. The Urban Risk Lab aspires to change the course of current global development trends through a radical shift in education and action with the goal of increasing resilience and proactively embedding preparedness in this rapidly urbanizing world. Her book, Design Before Disaster: Japan’s Culture of Preparedness, was published by the University of Virginia Press in September 2025.
