Description:

Listen to an episode of the Practice Disrupted podcast with hosts Evelyn Lee and Je’Nen Chastain to earn 1.5 LUs in HSW continuing education. Once you’ve finished the episode, you can take a quiz to complete your CE credits.

In this episode, you’ll gain insights into the practical application of climate-responsive design, the importance of regenerative practices, and the evolving role of architects in leading community resilience and sustainability efforts.

This episode includes a conversation with Illya Azaroff, FAIA, an internationally recognized leader in disaster mitigation, adaptation, regenerative design, and resilient planning strategies. Illya shares his extensive experience working on climate-responsive design projects and his role as the founding director of PlusLab Architect. PlusLab focuses on building resilient capacity and advancing sustainable, regenerative futures while giving underserved communities greater visibility. During the episode, you’ll hear about PlusLab’s projects, including a resilience hub in Hawaii and advisory work in Kyrgyzstan with the State Department.

Illya uses these case studies to speak to the importance of involving all community stakeholders in climate action, the difference between mitigation and adaptation strategies, and the necessity of both in addressing immediate and long-term climate impacts. Other highlights include the significance of leveraging local knowledge and existing community assets, advocating for policy changes, and the critical role of architects in translating complex issues into actionable design solutions.
