Holy smokes is it warm out there today! It is the middle of winter and it is 58 degrees- I can’t wait to go outside on my lunch break! I know that weather is different from climate but I can’t help but think of global warming on a day like today. PennDesign recently hosted a conversation titled ‘Building Resilience in Design’ which doubled to launch our new Certificate in Urban Resilience. “We are moving from a stable period to a period of great uncertainty and unpredictability in terms of climate change and associated hazards,” said Matthijs Bouw, an architect, associate professor of practice, and director of the Urban Resilience Certificate Program here at PennDesign. Students, working architects, urban designers and community organizers came from all over to participate in the discussion on how resilience is being used in teaching design to better our futures.
