Abstract

Resilience has emerged as a critical focus in architecture, addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change, rapid urbanization, and socio‐economic disruptions. This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive analysis of resilience research in architecture, leveraging data from Scopus and Web of Science to explore trends, influential contributions, and thematic clusters. Key findings highlight the evolution of resilience concepts, including adaptive reuse, climate adaptation, and socio‐ecological integration, and underscore the interdisciplinary nature of the field, bridging architecture, engineering, and social sciences. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and digital twins, are identified as transformative tools for resilience planning, with potential to enhance adaptability and robustness in architectural and urban systems. The study also maps resilience challenges across scales, from individual buildings to city‐wide systems, illustrating the interplay between environmental, structural, and social dimensions. Comparative analysis of global and local resilience strategies emphasizes the need for region‐specific approaches, particularly in underrepresented contexts like low‐income and vernacular settings. By identifying gaps, such as the lack of standardized metrics and harmonized evaluation frameworks, this research proposes future directions to support a more resilient built environment. This work contributes actionable insights for architects, urban planners, and policymakers, providing a foundation for integrating resilience into sustainable development practices. It calls for collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts to advance resilience research and address the complexities of contemporary urban challenges.
