Resilience by Design: Architecture's response to a changing climate

As we continue to reel from the devastation left by Typhoon Tino in Cebu and brace for the aftermath of Super Typhoon Uwan, the impact on Filipino families is profound. These storms are not just meteorological events.

They are deeply human tragedies. With damage to property, infrastructure, and agriculture amounting to millions, and hundreds of lives lost, we are reminded of our shared vulnerability. Yet in these moments, we also see our shared strength.

I stand with the communities who've lost homes, livelihoods, and loved ones. In the quiet acts of rebuilding, may we find strength in each other. As an Italian who's called the Philippines home for over 15 years, I continue to be moved by the Filipino spirit-tested time and again, yet always rising: compassionate, resilient, and undaunted.
