Architecture And Urban Resilience: Sustainability through Adaptation

The only certainty is that conditions always change. Change is necessary for life to exist and to be capable of correctly perceiving changes is essential for adapting to new conditions. In an era of rapid environmental change, resilience has become a critical aspect of sustainable built environment (Architecture and urban design). Resilience is the key of adaptability to maintain continuity. Sustainability itself is not one that must last forever, but one that can easily adapt to future uncertainty.

​

Architecture and urban design are claimed to play a significant role in the deterioration of environmental quality regarding its resilience and sustainability. High intervention in natural habitats for infrastructure propose, poor energy conservation design, lack of accessibility for a wide range of users, and minimum anticipation of immediate change is the small pieces of many architectural and urban design practices which worsen the environmental quality.

​

Many attempts are created to reduce this global phenomenon by incorporating government top-down policies and practitioner bottom-up strategies. Since 2015, United Nations, specifically through SDG 11 and 13, dedicated itself to promoting a more sustainable and resilient future for the environment. Practitioners and academics also contribute to initiating and implementing environment-oriented approaches, both in practice and research. Nevertheless, the engagement and collaboration among practitioner, stakeholders, academics and community still need to enhance in providing more comprehensive and impactful benefits. These steps are important because the built environments are the products of human work and become the systems that organize human life itself, thus its design should be the solution when preparing for the uncertainty of what comes in the future.
