Design Resilience
Design Resilience is the ability of design solutions to keep working well when the climate changes. In climate adaptation, this means using materials and shapes that handle heat, rain, or wind better over time. Designers can pick building forms that shade themselves or use surfaces that reflect sunlight to keep spaces cooler. Some designs use local plants or water systems to help manage flooding and keep the area healthy. Simple choices like placing windows to catch breezes or using roofs that collect rainwater can make a big difference in how a building or product responds to new weather patterns. These steps help designs last longer and stay useful as the climate changes.
