Join us as we delve into the complexities of post-disaster reconstruction, drawing upon historic precedent to shape a more resilient future. This two-day conference will explore historic disasters’ present impact. Bringing together case studies from around the globe, speakers will discuss how these events shaped and continue to shape our built environment and world, seeking to unearth new parallels between geographically and temporally disparate disasters. Four sessions will focus on typologies of earthquake, fire, conflict, and air & water.
