The center focuses in particular on the design and spatial dimension of resilience measures: How can different elements of resilient adaptation be integrated into coherent spatial concepts? Architectural and landscape architectural design serves as a research-based strategy to develop integrated solutions that not only meet functional requirements but also address emotional aspects—offering, for example, a sense of security and comfort in the face of potential crises.

Another central mission of the center is the promotion of early-career researchers. Doctoral candidates and postdocs—especially within the framework of the URBANGrad graduate school—benefit from a variety of offerings, including open research workshops, collegial discussions, individual guidance, and mentoring. The goal is to support young researchers in their academic and professional development and to provide a productive, interdisciplinary environment.
