If climate goes the way most scientists predict, then “resilience” is a word we’ll read ever more often. Last weekend I attended  “Design 4 Resilience” and here is an example of what emerged:

Chris Byrne, a participant at D4R last Saturday, has catalyzed D4R’s first informal workgroup to discover a resilience pattern language. Chris’ curiosity, dialog skills, and insightful contributions to discussion inspired Peter+Trudy Johnson-Lenz, who blog at People & Place, to share their index of design philosophies for Chris to work with. They graciously agreed to share their index with Shareable. Thank you PTJL. See any patterns in these philosophies? Please share your observation in comments. http://shareable.net/blog/towards-a-resilience-pattern-language
