AND SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN
Jessica Orlando, AIA, DBIA, WELL AP, is an associate principal at Perkins & Will who is leading the extensive recovery efforts for the AIA Pasadena & Foothill chapter.
“There are a lot of conversations
about what we should be rebuilding—to look at resiliency standards,” she said.
“When it comes to protecting homes
that were not built to resist fires, “Fire Safe Marin” [California] is a great
guide for retrofitting with some very simple and cost-effective approaches.”
Orlando said the AIA also is looking
at what it can do for working-class families that lost their homes to fires in
the Altadena area.
She said many multigenerational
families were living in housing that was uninsured or under insured.
Those families lost their source of
generational wealth.
