Session Abstract
With the increase of natural and man-made disasters around the globe, it becomes increasingly important to understand how architects, and architecture, can contribute to post disaster reconstruction efforts. While there is an argument that architects are the last people needed in this scenario, a collaborative process of planning, designing and building has the potential to form more resilient communities. Architects Sudarshan Khakda and Alexander Eriksson Furunes will share their project, Streetlight Tagpuro, a collaborative design and build process that began 3 years before the strongest typhoon to ever hit land devastated Tacloban city (Philippines), and the 3 years of reconstruction that followed.
