October 18-19, 2024
The 2024 Reynolds Symposium will
bring together a diverse group of designers, academics, researchers, public
servants, and others to explore resilience in the face of shifting ecologies,
communities, and climate disruptions.
This event will feature
keynote speakers, panel discussions, and an interactive design activity focused
on resilience. Attendees will also have opportunities to network with
presenters and peers during extended breaks. A highlight of the symposium
includes an optional tour of the Oregon State Treasury’s new U.S. Resiliency Council (USRC) Platinum-rated headquarters
in Salem.
The discussions will address
the immediate challenges posed by storms, wildfires, and earthquakes, alongside
the broader, long-term impacts of climate change on water, food systems, and
migration. The symposium will delve into how professionals in architecture,
landscape, and interior design can shape environments that not only withstand
these challenges but also foster thriving communities.
Key topics include real-world
examples and strategies for resilient design at various scales, from
neighborhood resource hubs that strengthen social ties to urban infrastructure
that maintains critical services. The symposium will also explore the relationship
between resilience and sustainability, examining whether these two concepts are
complementary or distinct.
Dynamic and interactive
sessions will allow participants to engage deeply with these ideas through
exhibitions, workshops, and panel discussions led by experts in the field.
Attendees can earn up to 8 AIA LU/HSW continuing education credits.
Attend the symposium October
18-19, 2024 and leave ready to help shape the future of resilient design.
