Metrics of Resilience and the RELi Rating System

Sustainability and resilience are two sides of the same coin. When combined with regeneration, civility and health, they interactively create an emergent property that can be thought of as a ‘living system.’ In this evocative presentation, architect and eco-entrepreneur Doug Pierce of Perkins+Will simultaneously explores the theory and practice of resilience through a holistic lens grounded in biomimicry, and the reductive perspective of checklists. He will offer clarity on how sustainability and resilience overlap, and where they differ.

This transdisciplinary presentation will blend design, science and engineering with actionable metrics from the RELi Resilience Action List and rating system that are readily available to design practitioners, decision-makers and policy experts. RELi was launched in 2014 and was adopted by the USGBC at Greenbuild 2017.
