This series will relaunch in spring of 2023.
Resiliency is the ability to quickly recover from disruption. But, how quickly can our buildings and systems bounce back from natural or man-made disasters? Can our infrastructure rapidly adapt to changing environmental, social, and economic conditions?
Join AIA Virginia for an exploration of resiliency in the built environment this ARCH-tober and discover why investing in resilient solutions can help protect us all.
