Resilience +
Architecture, like all living things, has adapted to changing environments over time. Today, those changes have been accelerated, so design solutions must match, if not outdo, this pace of transformation by instilling resilient solutions that have the capacity to evolve with us. We seek methods of transition that support a productive balance in the built environment for communities and resources that face uncertain futures.
