Chronic drought is limiting real estate development – but with resilient building design practices, it doesn’t have to. As we reimagine how buildings contribute to their environments and communities rather than taking from them – urban gardens, green walls, soft-scaping, and more. This stimulating conversation will bring together the perspectives of experienced AEC industry professionals as they discuss resilient building principles and the future of sustainable building design.
