SIGraDI Congress - "Resilience Design"

22-24 November 2017, Concepción, Chile

The theme chosen "Resilience Design " reveals the researchers' concern about the issues related to our reality of climate change and natural disasters, associated with the states of vulnerability and risk, with their wide effects on society and how to inhabit the territory. These issues are fundamental and of great importance in the discipline and in the field of design and architecture, as they are also relevant for collaborative work, with emerging areas of the arts and human sciences.

Thinking about Resilience Design is to place ourselves on new scenarios of reflection and action, where supported by transdisciplinary thinking and collaborative design, allow us a

new approach to our territories and their demands, more contextualized and adjusted to their current and future requirements; Starting point to establish the key elements that drive a change in our cities and society. In this sense, technology and digital development, management of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), design and construction parametric, working with Building Information Modeling (BIM), the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Among many others, have been delivering an enormous amount of tools and possibilities of interaction with living in society, Favoring a substantive change in the way of understanding and relating to the built environment and the territories that house them. This implies a strong commitment to the Social Responsibility of our disciplines and the necessary landing of technological and digital research and development, of a high level, to our diverse realities, to put them at the service of affected communities in vulnerable environments or with a high condition Of risk, which are subject to constant resilient processes.

Working in Resilience Design allows to support research, productive processes and the emergence of new technologies in interdisciplinary contexts, and whose greatest value is to influence the processes of teaching and professional practice, of the different areas related to the human habitation, who will have the work To act and integrate into these new scenarios of change and constant adjustment.
