An architect can design for compliance in architecturally resilient systems by considering the following:
1. Building codes and regulations: The architect should ensure that the design complies with all building codes and regulations to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the occupants.
2. Hazard assessments: The architect should conduct a hazard assessment to identify potential risks such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, and design the building to withstand those hazards.
3. Material selection: The architect should select materials that are resilient to damage caused by natural disasters.
4. Redundancy: The architect should incorporate redundancy in the design to ensure that critical systems such as power and water supply have backup systems in case of failure.
5. Communication networks: The architect should design communication networks that are resilient to failure in case of a natural disaster.
6. Design for adaptability: The architect should design the building to be adaptable to changing circumstances, such as climate change, to ensure that it remains resilient in the long term.
7. Continuity planning: The architect should work with the building owner to develop a continuity plan that ensures the building can continue to function in the event of a disruption, such as a power outage.
