This event is free and open to the public; space is limited.

In the past, architecture and design have often sought to keep nature outside and to insulate our living and working environments. But those buildings and structures don’t stand up well in the face of the inevitable natural events of fire, floods, earthquakes, or storms, and have a long-term negative impact on the environment that only makes the disasters more frequent. So in recent years, we have changed strategies and are starting to work with nature rather than against it. What have been the successes of resilient architecture and design, and what opportunities lie ahead?
