Resources on Climate Change and Adaptive Architecture

What wide-ranging topic to cover (on short notice nonetheless). There's probably a whole infrastructure angle to this, as well, but sounds like we're foucising on buildings. In that case, I had two thoughts: reactive and proactive measures. On the reactive side (and, yes, my examples are selfish), looking at adaptive reuse and making those existing buildings extremely high performance and resilient to change. Our offices in Phoenix and Sacramento are both tracking as net-zero energy in hot climates. As temperature's rise everywhere, the ability to achieve that benchmark (or net positive) while re-using existing buildings (so, somewhat lower embodied carbon in materials, etc.) could be one example of design and construction adapting to the near-term effects of climate change. On a building-by-building basis, that's adapting to climate change, not necessarily trying to head it off. I think we still see the bulk of the AEC industry playing by the rules that have been set and, let's be honest, we'll find a way to make money even with rules that push the bar higher. I still feel like we missed a major opportunity with the last boom (Seaport in Boston, Mission Bay in San Francisco, South Lake Union in Seattle, etc...) where those cities didn't insist on some level of district energy/water/resource sharing. An approach by cities to insist the next round of development hits net-zero/positive targets and encourages district solutions would do a lot more than our single-building efforts in reaction to climate change. I don't know if that helps, but hope so!
