Designing with Disaster is the second iteration of the Living with Disaster exhibition, which took place in Tokyo in 2022. Designing with Disaster brings the content to Los Angeles to be displayed in a new context and is accompanied by events and symposia.
A powerful and optimistic array of innovative urban designs focused on withstanding natural- and human-instigated disasters while simultaneously responding to the multiple hazards of climate change.

ArcDR3 – Global Student Forum: Confluence and Transfer:: Ideas in Exchange provides a unique opportunity for the students of 11 universities participating in the ArcDR3 Initiative, to meet, to present their current and/or completed research and design projects, and to discuss future actions to advance the collective work on New Agendas for Regenerative Urbanism.
This year Rumble Event framed a unique occasion when students from parallel studios: Fire City: Towards Regenerative Urbanism with Hitoshi Abe (M.Arch. Research Studio) and Fire LA-ND with Jeffrey Inaba and David Jimenez Iniesta (M.S.AUD Research Studio) showcased their works to the guests of the event. During the event, A.UD faculty and students engage the broader architecture and urban design discussions about the future of design and the built environment under the conditions of changing environment. With its twin focus on fire-risk-reduction and fire-resilience, the joint studios draw from a diverse network of educational partners and researchers. Throughout the year, FireCity and FireLand studios accommodated presentations from fire-related, city planning, and urban design experts in local regeneration efforts, architects, and researchers. Students in parallel studios are developing diverse proposals based on shared findings. Because architecture yields insights through both research and design, the studios are organized to take the best advantage of both modalities of exploration – Research Studio and Suprastudio formats. The parallel structure is intended to share AUD’s cross-campus intelligence through a feedback loop of collaboration and dialogue among the students and across the globe with other ArcDR3 participants.
The first ArcDR³ event – ArcDR³ Forum Vol.1: New Agendas for Regenerative Urbanism was held on Friday, June 26. Under the umbrella of the “Grand Syllabus,” the 11 participating universities presented their syllabi for their context-specific design studios in the upcoming 2020-2021 academic year. Discussions were divided into three panels: #1: Earth, Wind and Fire, #2: Water, and #3: Multi-hazard.
