The MULTICARE Living Lab Webinar focuses on resilient buildings and the role of digital design tools in supporting climate adaptation and risk-informed decision-making in the built environment.

During the webinar, experts from research institutions and industry will present key MULTICARE approaches addressing building resilience, including innovative structural systems, adaptive facade solutions, and digital workflows for resilient design across multiple scales.

The session will start with a short overview of the MULTICARE project, followed by technical presentations illustrating how these solutions can be applied in real building and urban contexts. The webinar will conclude with a joint Q&A session, allowing participants to engage directly with the speakers and provide feedback.

The Living Lab format is designed to support knowledge exchange, stakeholder engagement, and the dissemination of practical solutions contributing to more resilient, low-carbon, and future-proof buildings.
