    Architecture Design for Resilience and Risk Reduction

    08-09-2025 To 12-09-2025
    Dubai
    civil eng and construction

    As climate change, natural disasters, and socio-economic disruptions increase, the role of architecture in resilience planning and risk reduction has become crucial. This course introduces participants to resilient design principles, hazard-specific architectural responses, and integration of risk reduction strategies into urban and building-scale projects. It emphasizes adaptive design, sustainable materials, and performance-based approaches that promote long-term safety, functionality, and livability.
