About

 
Led by Matthijs Bouw, Rockefeller Urban Resilience Fellow for PennDesign, this two-day symposium and workshop offers an introduction to the fundamentals of resilience from experts in the field. Starting from how to incorporate concepts and tools for resilience into design, the program turns to case studies in partnership with 100 Resilient Cities to apply this knowledge in an interactive format with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the role design can play in urban resilience.
 
The development of this course is an iterative process. The curriculum is currently designed to bring together a diverse set of interests; it is structured to help students understand the complex environment in which design can and should play a role in resilience. Content is being tested and developed through events, workshops, and roundtables, and in collaboration with ongoing educational activities.
