Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Living through the COVID-19 pandemic with the spec-
tre of uncertainty still looming large, we have learnt to deal
with the challenges that have suddenly changed the way we
live, work and interact as a community. We have now learnt to
live within our means and resources and adapt to sudden and
unexpected changes that have altered almost every aspect of
life. As architects the pandemic has brought in new challenges
in design and perception of our built environment. We now
look forward to bouncing back with resilience to a post-pan-
demic world learning valuable lessons from our current expe-
riences. This is also an appropriate time to introspect on how
we can build resilience into our lives and living environments.
Resilience can be defined as the inherent ability of a
system or community to withstand sudden or unexpected
disturbances or disruptions while retaining its function and
structure. Resilience is not just the ability to bounce back
from natural disasters or calamities. Rather it can be described
as a sense of preparedness to accept and understand the vaga-
ries of nature and adapt positively. As architects, landscape
architects and planners, there is a definitive need to build re-
silience into our projects, cities and communities.
