Introduction
The word Resilience may assume different meanings pop to different people in different contexts. It is crucial that we all have the same understanding of the term so we can align our efforts towards improving the resilience of the buildings and communities we design and build.
Description
The AIA National and AIA Florida have been advocating for the adoption of a wide range of measures to increase the resilience of buildings, businesses, and communities against different hazards. Florida, under Governor DiSantis leadership, is also taking measures to reduce the impact of natural disasters and other climate change generated stresses in our residents, built environment and economy.
Objective
Discuss the definition of Resilience and its different forms. Examine the current AIA National position and trends. Identify AIA Florida’s standing and initiatives. Explore present and future public projects to increase Resilience throughout the state.
