Resilient Design : Architecture for a Changing Climate

In an era defined by climate uncertainty, Resilient Design: Architecture for a Changing Climate presents a transformative vision for the built environment. Moving beyond traditional sustainability, this book explores resilience as a dynamic, ecological, and ethical framework, guiding architects and planners to design buildings and cities that adapt, regenerate, and thrive. From living buildings that breathe, heal, and evolve, to urban ecosystems that integrate social equity, biodiversity, and cultural continuity, it reveals how design can respond to environmental and societal disruption with intelligence and empathy. Drawing on cutting-edge material innovations, nature-based strategies, and participatory approaches, the book demonstrates that resilience is not merely technical—it is a philosophy, a moral imperative, and a creative opportunity. Rich in insight and inspiration, it challenges readers to reimagine architecture as a force that restores balance, nurtures life, and fosters hope in a changing world.
