Climate change is creating challenges across the globe. Hurricanes with their associated winds and flooding, wildfires, extreme heat or cold, and earthquakes are occurring more often and with greater intensity. The projects highlighted in this course show how communities are addressing these challenges and becoming more resilient in the process.
Reeling from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, Architects Focus on Rebuilding and Resiliency
After two Category IV Atlantic hurricanes hit the United States in the same season, architects led, and continue to lead, efforts to build back better using resilient design principles.
