Fire continues to rage worldwide, drought and floods are the new normal and, human populations are growing at an exponential pace. In fact, over the next two decades, the world will add another couple of billion people and, guess where the population will move? To cities and suburbs of course. Whether engineers or architects, you have chosen the right field if you plan to keep busy. The need for design isn’t going away. But, the type of design should be evolving. There has been much talk and, I think, little action toward making our built environment, our communities, resilient. Well, now is the time for those of us that have design and construction responsibility to step up. Resiliency isn’t just another fad, it’s one of the most necessary design elements needed. This session was developed for the keynote at the Portland Builder Association last spring. Please tune in to hear about the issues and opportunities that have been set before us. There has never been a better time to be engaged in the built environment! Speaker: Ken Baker, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (see attached speaker bio) Tickets $0.00 Member Ticket $15.00 Guest Ticket
