DESCRIPTION

It is the new buzzword resonating globally – ‘building resilience’. But what does it really mean for the building industry? Architects and the building industry have got behind the concept and are now advocating design and use of building materials that meet the ‘resilience’ goal. What they are saying is that resilience and sustainability go hand-in-hand. So our buildings need to be built for the future – be able to take on the challenges of global warming, be energy efficient and sustainable.
