Irena Bauman Professor at SSoA and Director of Bauman Lyons Architects At SSoA we consider Resilience to be one of the and the desire to design solutions to the defining issue of this century. There are changes environmental crisis. already in motion such as climate warming and other conditions arising from chronic urban Architects and architectural academics, are now stresses such as high unemployment, extreme working collaboratively, researching and wealth discrepancies, violence and water innovating across disciplines as varied as shortages that are increasingly difficult to materials science, building physics, mitigate against. These are happening with such construction methods, social and economic acceleration that many societies are caught out regeneration, new forms of governance, co- with insufficient time and other resources to production methods and service design, and we adapt in a seamless and timely manner. Our are developing solutions for mitigation and for society is already experiencing repeated shocks adaptation that contribute to growing resilience which require personal and collective resilience and to positive transformations. to withstand them. Resilience is therefore required to create that buffer zone of space and We have staged an international conference to time within which we can adapt our behaviour scope the many ways that architectural to mitigate against further acceleration of these academics and practicing architects are conditions and to adapt and transform into a low engaging with issues of resilience, to collate the carbon, and socially more just way of life. emerging knowledge to set it in a theoretical context. Also, this conference celebrates this Architects have a major contribution to make to body of work and the contribution it is making building of local resilience as we have the towards transformational society. capacity to analyse and innovate and architecture itself is, by nature, is locally rooted If we are to continue to grow such contributions, - it does not move. Also architecture forms the academics, educators, architectural physical infrastructure of neighbourhoods - researchers and practitioners will have to these neighbourhoods are the smallest unit of continue to break with all types of silo thinking resilience, and the urban cells from which and instead, embrace systems thinking and take resilience of the entire urban organism is build. onboard the learning conditions recently described by the anthropologist Henrietta Whilst our professional establishment is still Moore : “the future learning will not be about largely preoccupied with its own self the transferability of whole models with importance and with protection of its own known outcomes, but rather about rather tiny kingdom, many architects are opting incomplete learning, experimentation and to operate beyond professional silos collaboration.” increasingly driven by concerns for social justice 2 | Architecture and Resilience SCIENTIFIC and organising Committees Organising Committee Irena Bauman Doina M Petrescu Beatrice De Carli Flora Samuel Jian Kang Fionn Stevenson Sara J Lancashire Kim Trogal Ranald Lawrence Renata Tyszczuk Scientific Committee | Local Resilience and Science Strand Dr Marty Anderies Professor Niklaus Kohler Arizona State University Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Dr Sarah Burch Professor Martin Mayfield University of Waterloo, Canada University of Sheffield Ian Cooper Professor Steven Moore Eclipse Research Consultants, Cambridge University of Texas at Austin Professor Michael Davies Professor Edward Ng UCL, London.
