Habitat Norway is happy to announce that we will host a lecture with Prof David Sanderson, director of the Centre for Development and Emergency Practice in the department of architecture, Oxford Brookes University, 8 May in Oslo. More information on the event here.

Read Sanderson’s take on architects’ role in the response following the earthquakes that hit Haiti and Chile in 2010:

Architects are often the last people needed in disaster reconstruction – Most of them focus on buildings rather than people, and will be of little use in Haiti or Chile.
