DR3: Rethinking Architecture Disaster Risk Reduction, Resilience & Recovery
17-19 April 2026 (Friday - Sunday)
Hermes Palace Hotel, Banda Aceh, Indonesia
DR3: Rethinking Architecture (Disaster Risk Reduction, Resilience, and Recovery)
Natural and human disasters have profound impacts on communities worldwide, often resulting in significant loss of life, property, cultural heritage, increased social vulnerabilities, and humanitarian crises. This conference aims to bring together architects, built environment professionals, practitioners, and researchers to explore innovative approaches to disaster risk reduction, resilience-building, and recovery strategies. Through the theme of DR3, the conference seeks to foster multidisciplinary dialogue that rethinks the roles of architecture and the built environment in creating safer and more resilient communities before, during, and after disasters.

plenary sessions, site visits to the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami ground zero, visits to emergency
evacuation shelters, engagements with disaster-affected communities, workshops, exhibitions,
