Resilient Design
Resilient design builds social, technical and ecological systems that can absorb unexpected shocks and adapt without collapsing, complementing foresight methods that anticipate such events.
Named as a response to Unique Events, singular, often unprecedented occurrences that significantly alter the context: "foresight methods like Scenario Planning aim to anticipate potential 'wild card' or 'black swan' events, while Resilient Design aims to build systems (social, technical, ecological) capable of absorbing such shocks, adapting, and transforming without catastrophic failure."
