The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)'s Engineering With Nature^® (EWN^®) initiative consistently promotes the use of collaboration for identifying innovative, nature-based solutions (NBS) that lead to more resilient communities and water-based infrastructure. In recent years, EWN researchers, in partnership with landscape architects (LAs) affiliated with the Dredge Research Collaborative (DRC), have championed an innovative, collaborative strategy that offers traditional planners an opportunity to participate in visioning exercises during the initial phases of coastal storm risk management projects. This has resulted in the identification, development, and incorporation of design concepts that prioritize NBS and the placement of natural and nature-based features (NNBF). These concepts, and their development process, have been documented in reports for the use of both the participating planners and other audiences interested in innovative NNBF. Upon observing these favorable outcomes, it has become clear that the integration of disciplines—landscape architecture, applied science, and engineering—has increased our ability to process, utilize, and communicate complex information. Both groups (i.e., DRC's LAs and EWN engineers and scientists) have considerable experience related to infrastructure design and performance; they elucidate ways to achieve functional engineering criteria while also maximizing ecological value and/or promoting more recreational opportunities. However, this partnership also produces a complementary set of uniquely acquired skills and expertise, which advances the development of NBS through accelerated and more meaningful communications. This study will offer insight into the partnership, collaborative techniques, and resulting products that have fostered innovation as well as advocacy for more sustainable infrastructure.

通过在高度协作的环境中利用 Engineering With Nature® 策略和景观建筑实践来推进基于自然的解决方案

美国陆军工程兵团 (USACE) 的自然工程^® (EWN® ⁾) 倡议不断促进使用协作来确定创新的、基于自然的解决方案 (NBS)，从而带来更具弹性的社区和基于水的基础设施。近年来，EWN 研究人员与隶属于 Dredge Research Collaborative (DRC) 的景观设计师 (LAs) 合作，倡导了一种创新的协作策略，为传统规划者提供了在沿海风暴初始阶段参与愿景练习的机会风险管理项目。这导致了优先考虑 NBS 和放置自然和基于自然的特征 (NNBF) 的设计概念的识别、开发和整合。这些概念及其发展过程，已记录在报告中，供参与计划者和其他对创新 NNBF 感兴趣的受众使用。在观察到这些有利的结果后，很明显，景观建筑、应用科学和工程等学科的整合提高了我们处理、利用和交流复杂信息的能力。两组（即 DRC 的 LA 和 EWN 工程师和科学家）在基础设施设计和性能方面都有相当丰富的经验；他们阐明了实现功能工程标准的方法，同时最大限度地提高生态价值和/或促进更多的娱乐机会。然而，这种伙伴关系也产生了一套互补的独特获得的技能和专业知识，它通过加速和更有意义的沟通来推动 NBS 的发展。这项研究将深入了解促进创新和倡导更可持续基础设施的伙伴关系、协作技术和由此产生的产品。2022 年整合环境评估管理；18：108–114。© 2021 SETAC。本文由美国政府雇员贡献，他们的工作在美国属于公共领域。
