Territorial resilience is the ability of cities, territories, communities and organizations to adapt and overcome challenges and threats by understanding their vulnerabilities and generating concrete actions to prepare for uncertainty. All territories, to a greater or lesser extent, face a series of chronic threats and shocks that impact all territorial systems and the links between them with varying levels of risk.
This architecture studio addressed the problem of resilience in informal settlements in the coastal zone of the Atacama Desert, through planning frameworks that provided a rational model to understand the threats, exposure and degree of vulnerability to them, the options or strategies to respond and adapt to threats and finally, implementation models for strategies and actions.
