Economic decline, natural and manmade disasters, war
and destruction, acts of devastating violence, the 21st
century has witnessed a climate of crisis, most often
immediate and unpredictable but, at times, foreseen,
impending and even expected. Such events and the ability for continuity, recovery and change, require strength borne from adaptability. Drawing upon a concept originally introduced by C. S.Holling regarding equilibrium in the ecological system, Volume 05 of the Int|AR journal explores the idea of resilience. From anticipatory strategies to shock absorption, from the reduction of material needs to the widening of the array of resources, from the liberation of traditional constraints to new forms of collaborations, from built-in redundancies to risk mitigation,
from transformability to incrementality, this strategy
is broad and equally applicable in science, economy,
urban planning and design. For Volume 05, we focus on
such ideas, theories and explorations in the design of the built environment and welcome submissions on adaptive reuse and the adaptive process as a means and demonstration of resilience.
