Overview

The third editions of the International Conferences on “Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism” and “Future Smart Cities” were held together in collaboration with the Xiamen University Malaysia in Malaysia, and took place virtually from the 14th to the 15th of November 2020, due to the travel restrictions caused by the pandemic.

The Conference focuses on how architecture and urban practices can make a transformative contribution at the neighborhood scale or rather the lived scale of buildings and everyday life. This conference will stimulate discussion on the theories of continuous change in cities and ideals and new pedagogies of resilient architecture. It brings together cross-disciplinary perspectives from urban design, architecture, geography, art, technology, and building science to open up multiple standpoints and opportunities for research, strategies, and projects on how local resilience can prepare us for major societal challenges.

Among the main topics discussed at the conference:

1- Computational Advancements in Future Smart Cities

2- The Path to Resiliency: Theory and Application

3- Challenges and Key Components for Developing Smart Cities

4- Resiliency for the Future

About the RRAU 3rd Edition:

Vulnerable by design, our cities are now facing the challenge of adaptability, brought on by rapid urbanization, global pandemics, social inequalities, and more. As a result, it has now become a necessity to build social, economic, and environmental resilience and strive for affordable, low impact, and universally accessible and comfortable places. Resilience or recovery planning and urban design share one target that is providing safety and stability for urban communities. Tackling the repercussions of urban sprawl, fuel poverty, emission levels affecting our quality of life, Resilient Architecture and Design also represent a chance at adaptability in the face of climatic changes and natural disasters.

Discussed at a ‘human scale’, the conference focuses on the ways in which architecture and urban practices can make a transformative contribution at the neighborhood scale or rather the lived scale of buildings and everyday life. This conference will stimulate discussion on the theories of continuous change in cities and ideals and new pedagogies of resilient architecture. It brings together cross-disciplinary perspectives from urban design, architecture, geography, art, technology, building science to open up multiple standpoints and opportunities for research, strategies, and projects on the ways in which local resilience can prepare us for major societal challenges.

With new and smart technologies, we now have the tools needed to take preventive measures and plan for long-term sustainable growth. As new forms of design, social and technical innovations, as well as new economic models and research methods, are presented, together we approach uncharted territory. The international conference on Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU) – 3rd Edition, organized in collaboration with Xiamen University Malaysia, The Third Edition brings together expert practitioners, interdisciplinary students, readers, and researchers from around the world to reframe existing challenges as opportunities for design and innovation.
