Routledge Architecture and Resilience: Interdisciplinary Dialogues - Routledge

Architecture and Resilience explores how built environments and spatial design can address the defining challenges of the twenty-first century, from climate change to resource depletion. This Routledge volume brings together cross-disciplinary perspectives from architecture, urban design, art, geography, building science and psychoanalysis to examine resilience as a transformative concept. Rather than treating architecture as a narrow technical discipline, the book opens multiple avenues for research, spatial strategies and creative projects that reimagine how we inhabit and design our world. By synthesising insights across fields, it demonstrates how architectural thinking can contribute meaningfully to building more resilient communities and systems. Essential reading for architects, urban planners, designers and anyone interested in how the built environment shapes our capacity to adapt and thrive amid uncertainty and change.
