The following are the full event details:

Synopsis:
Architects are to provide radical measures to design and build for societies of the present times amidst unpredictable climate conditions and biodiversity loss, rapidly growing population, hastened urbanization, and escalated social division and inequality. It is also critical to anticipate future design in rapidly changing surroundings and unprecedented pressures on the lives of the people and the place they live. In adapting to change, there is a need to develop innovative designs for people and the environment, that are resilient, flexible, durable, and humane. Resilience means the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties with the ability to adapt. Resilient design and city provide better living as it integrate urban development with communities, nature, and heritage. This workshop searches for design ideas and outcomes that address the future’s resilience & sustainability, a synthesis of technology with inspiration and aesthetics.
