2024 Reynolds Symposium: DESIGN:RESILIENCE

Welcome back to an in-person 2024 UO Reynolds Symposium in Eugene! We will explore concepts, strategies, systems and real-world examples of design for resiliency across many scales and scopes of the built environment, from the local neighborhood resource hub as a cache and gathering place that supports the deep social fabric of community, to the buildings and urban environments of all scales that keep critical infrastructures and operations vital and available. Furthermore, the Symposium will delve into questions about the relationship between design for “resiliency” and for “sustainability.” Are they at odds or are they really, at the root, the same set of goals?

We will explore these topics and questions in dynamic, interactive settings, interwoven with presentations by leading voices in the field. Shared discussions will amplify the knowledge of the assembled attendees, through keynotes, panel/group discussions, resilience activity with the speakers, and an optional fieldtrip. Professional CEU’s will be available for attending some portions of the Symposium. No live-stream available. We plan to record and post keynotes talks following the event
