Multi-hazard resilient buildings – new MULTICARE article published!
We are pleased to share that a new scientific article presenting the concept of the MULTICARE project has been published on Open Access Government.
Prepared by Mauro Overend and Simona Bianchi from Delft University of Technology, the publication introduces the key ideas behind creating more resilient and sustainable buildings in the face of climate change.
Why this topic matters
Today’s buildings are increasingly exposed to extreme climate events such as heatwaves, floods or earthquakes. At the same time, the construction sector must reduce its environmental impact and move towards low-carbon solutions.
The MULTICARE project addresses both challenges by developing innovative approaches that combine resilience and sustainability. The goal is to support the design and transformation of buildings that are not only safer, but also more energy-efficient and environmentally responsible.
What you will find in the article
In this article, you will discover how buildings can be designed to better respond to today’s climate challenges while supporting a low-carbon future.
- • how modern approaches can help buildings withstand multiple risks, not just one
- • why combining safety, energy efficiency and sustainability is key for future construction
- • how innovative design concepts can improve both building performance and occupant wellbeing
- • how cities can benefit from smarter, more resilient building solutions
The article offers a clear and engaging overview of how the built environment can evolve to become safer, more sustainable and ready for future challenges.
Connecting science with real-world impact
The publication reflects the broader vision of the MULTICARE project, which aims to develop practical tools, technologies and methods that can be applied in real buildings and cities.
By bringing together expertise from engineering, architecture, digital technologies and social sciences, MULTICARE supports better decision-making and helps stakeholders design buildings that are ready for the challenges of the future.
