Resilience as a Sustainable Design Process in the World Climate Change

The World's changing climate, directs all the efforts of humanity in the adaptive nature of reducing the impact of their activities. The author focuses in the text on the idea of 'resilience' in the reorientation of design practices towards to build a bank of matter. The use of information from already occurred events, should lead to adapt in to climatic conditions, as it happens in nature. The first part, show the principles and context of building design process which is not always in the sustainable development idea. It shows the activity of architecture and construction, as negative impact on the environment which we can also experience and categorized as an effect of changing climate. The second part, attempts to determine aspects, which should characterize the early and last design stage, which defines the ecological life cycle of an architectural object – building as a creator of Cities. The conclusion, talks about the matter in the design process – DNA – as a whole materiality (life cycle - before use, use, after use - pollutions, embodied energy, embodied carbon, serviceability) of the building.

Paper refers directly to the architectural-environmental dimensions, orienting the design process of buildings in respect of widely comprehended climatic changes. Author's research results highlight the fact in the idea of the matter bank – the equivalent of city matter. Moreover, ideas are formulated as the 'resilience' which draws from the information, from already existing events and through processing by adjusting them and using again. The work aims to draw attention to the ever-growing methods of researching the building, such as: Life Cycle Analysis and Building Information Modelling, as the future of sustainable, conscious architecture design in a changing climate.
