Resilient Design is the practice of identifying vulnerabilities to natural and manmade threats in buildings, cities, and their communities, and creating design responses to help achieve stability and adaptability. These threats could be acute events or chronic stressors.
Perkins+Will sees these shocks and stressors as significant forces impacting design
decisions that our clients must make. To address these issues, we guide a comprehensive design-thinking process that leverages social, economic and physical capital to create buildings, cities, and communities with greater diversity, more resilience and vitality. We see differently and in doing so, increase our clients’ capacities to thrive in spite of the shocks and stressors they might experience.
