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 in collaboration with AIA Hampton Roads for an exploration of resiliency in the built environment and discover why investing in resilient solutions can help protect us all.
