Forms of Aid : Architectures of Humanitarian Space, Hardback Book

Forms of Aid : Architectures of Humanitarian Space Hardback

Hardback

Description

For some time now, the subject of cooperation in the context of development aid has featured in the education of architects.

However, up to now there have hardly been any attempts to critically place the work of architects and urban designers in this context. The book highlights the architectural consequences of humanitarian actions on the basis of three case studies – in Port-au-Prince, the West Bank, and Nairobi.

The authors analyze twelve projects in terms of typology and construction and establish a differentiated position in the discourse on short-term housing for emergency situations.

They investigate the far-reaching effects of such architectural aid and supply architects, town planners, and NGOs with useful advice for future planning and design.
