AIAO Fire Resilience Series
Wildfire has long been endemic to our wild lands, especially in western states. Climate change, development patterns and other factors are increasing the threats from wildfire and wildfire smoke to our health, safety, and lives, and to our buildings and communities. This series will provide architects and other building professionals with a comprehensive overview of wildfire risks to our built environment and the design solutions to make our communities, neighborhoods, and buildings more fire resilient.
Cost:
AIA Members/Allied Members/NOMA: $15 per session or all 5 for $60
Non-Members: $40 per session or all 5 for $160
Session 5: Summary Panel
1 AIA LU|HSW
The wildfire resilience series concludes with an interactive panel discussion featuring all session presenters. This culminating session will synthesize the major insights from the case studies, technical strategies, and design approaches explored throughout the series. Panelists will highlight cross-cutting themes such as the role of codes and standards, lessons learned from recent wildfire events, and the importance of aligning resilience strategies with broader goals for sustainability, health, and community safety. Guided by a facilitator, the discussion will emphasize practical applications for architects and provide an opportunity for participants to pose questions, share experiences, and consider how wildfire resilience can be integrated into their own projects and practices.
Participants will be able to summarize the key findings and takeaways from the wildfire resilience webinar series, including case studies and design strategies.
Participants will be able to examine cross-cutting themes in wildfire resilience, such as building codes, health impacts, and sustainable design synergies.
Participants will be able to understand the interrelationship of fire resilience strategies at community, neighborhood, and building scales.
Participants will be able to apply practical considerations of fire-resilient design strategies to their own professional practice.
