Research on Climate-Resilient Buildings for Severe Precipitation

Abstract

One of the main questions raised by climate change to the global architectural debate was that "What were the determinants of the livelihood of residents and how could we approach them under severe and unstable precipitation phenomenon?" An essential priority of climate mitigation and adaptation is to combine meteorological lenses in an architectural approach. Former scholars had been focusing on the notion of resilience in sustainable urban development, primarily known as the ability of the urban system to recover from a disturbance. In this descriptive paper, the author reviewed partial literature titled both "extreme precipitation" and "urban resilience" in the ScienceDirect database and the Journal of the American Institute of Architects. This paper validated the use of metal roof hardening methods and green infrastructure in the construction in an attempt to provide applicable climate resilient design approaches to architects, city or regional planners, administrations, and stakeholders. Also, self-sufficiency, cost-efficiency, disaster safety shelters, and the mitigation and ever-adaptation to the local climate would have perpetuated the traditional approaches to heavy precipitation to an upper level.
