Architects face a growing challenge to not only create energy efficient buildings, but to also design buildings that respond to increasing impacts of a changing climate. New resilient design methods, many based on lost building and planning practices, are being developed to better prepare buildings for long-term and extreme climate change. Professor Holmes will discuss many of the resilient design efforts in the building industry along with his own research on resilient design metrics.

Seth Holmes is an architect and Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Hartford where he teaches courses in sustainable design and building systems. His research focuses on the development of climate change adaptation and resiliency methods for use in architectural and urban design practice.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
