... Though the workshop's diverse assembly of speakers and presenters demonstrated the existence of technological solutions for increased resilience, reaching building owners and officials, stakeholders, and the broader community remains an obstacle to community resilience. She explained that engineers like David Mar are needed to help integrate advanced technologies into structural engineering, and simple and effective tools, like performance-based design, are needed to connect the engineering world with its ultimate users.

... Naeim explained that most of Los Angeles's tall buildings are designed according to performance-based design procedures and must undergo peer review. He further asserted that the engineering community generally agrees that code design does not satisfy implicit performance objectives for tall buildings.
