This course is part of the Mastering Movement™ Academy
The construction industry has always had to deal with weather events. In fact, it is one of the biggest factors in determining material choices, project plans, and strategies as well as labor and construction timelines. In the past few decades, however, natural disasters have increased and intensified in significant ways.
Data compiled by the U.S. government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows that the number of earthquakes per year has seen significant variation, but the overall trend shows an increasing frequency. Engineering the seismic safety of buildings requires consideration for design, construction, and location. Buildings must be able to handle both major and small-but-perpetuating traumas, whether from a natural disaster due to climate change or some other weather event born of wind, sun, water, fire, or the earth, or whether it is the impact of occupants in and around the building.
In this presentation we look at how the earth’s elements impact building movement and how the built environment can be responsive to those impacts. Mastering movement means designing buildings with movement in mind and choosing products that can provide better health, wellness, and safety for occupants no matter what the outside environment conjures up.
The course will look at products designed for movement, explore new trends, and delve into the ways in which manufacturers and design consultants can help make good movement decisions every step of the way via collaboration and in service to better more sustainable construction.
