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.
Miriam Sitz
Architecture Studios Incorporate Resiliency into Their Designs
Architecture schools recognize the increasing effects of climate change on how cities are built and are taking steps to prepare the next generation to respond to future disasters.

California Towns Rebuild After Wildfires With Resilience in Mind
California Towns Rebuild After Wildfires With Resilience in Mind
Ravaged by wildfire, rebuilt towns will be made more resilient with stricter adherence to California’s wildfire-urban interface building code.
Pam Radtke Russell
Architects Bring Solar to Hurricane-Battered Puerto Rico
While it will take years to fully restore Puerto Rico’s electrical grid, one group aims to rapidly restore electrical service by installing permanent solar arrays on the island.
James S. Russell, FAIA
Study Outlines Quake Risk in San Francisco
A new report examines the potential impact of earthquakes on a large group of buildings higher than 240 feet.
