As wildfires become an ever-growing threat, the construction industry must confront its role in perpetuating destruction. In this session, Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdóttir, Owner, Principal and General Contractor + Tryggvi Thorsteinsson, Architect, Principal at Minarc & ERLA Construction will highlight the critical gap between current building practices and the fire resilience needed to withstand these catastrophic events. Focusing on materials over merely defensible space, the session will explore why fire-resistant materials are essential for building homes that don’t become fuel for flames. With a stark comparison to the stringent fire regulations for high-rises, this session will call for a paradigm shift in how single-family homes are built in fire-prone areas. Attendees will gain insights into the urgent need for stricter building codes, fire-resistant materials, and a more responsible approach to design that prioritizes the future of our communities.
