Introduction

Resilience in architecture is the cautious process by which the design and planning of cities work to provide users with a sustainably suitable and improved life. Therefore, resilient architecture handles the task of creating more flexible and resilient cities. Countless factors are taken into consideration when it comes to building a resilient city, including the city’s local environment as it plays a critical role in determining what makes a building resilient or not, making it different from one geographical location to the other.
With the increasing occurrences of natural disasters worldwide, the formation and creation of resilient cities have become essential steps in terms of emergency preparation. Nowadays, architecture and urbanism are particularly important as a result of the inevitable negative impacts of global warming and climate change that are changing our everyday lives beyond imagination, at a rapid rate.
Resilient and responsible architecture also works to provide safety and stability for urban communities and takes issues such as the ramifications of urban sprawl, fuel poverty, and emission levels impacting our quality of life into consideration. Our cities now are not only facing the challenges of adaptability brought on by climate change, but also challenges such as rapid urbanization, global pandemics, and social inequalities, to name a few.
Through the 6th edition of its international conference on Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU), IEREK hopes to shift the focus onto how architecture and urban practices can make a transformative contribution at a scale larger than that of the lived scale of buildings and everyday life.
This conference will provide planners, architects, and interested parties with the chance and platform to get involved in long-term thinking about current and potential issues that need immediate attention and discuss potentially efficient solutions. It will also help provide the attendees with the chance to be a part of an important discussion, providing them with the opportunity of taking a step towards actively making a change for the better.
