“We Don't Ship: How Community Design Delivers More Than Architecture ”
As we enter the 21st century the field of architecture is at a crossroads. From Hurricane Katrina to the war in Iraq, large-scale urbanization, disaster and conflict has destabilized not only our political structures but also the built environment prompting many to question the building practices of the past. Is the role of the architect to create the signature monuments that define and exalt our cultural and economic values? Or, is there an alternative path to building in the world today, one that engages people where they live and work and recognizes that sustainability is not a luxury but a necessity? Join Cameron Sinclair, co-founder of Architecture for Humanity and the Open Architecture Network, where he will discuss how a new breed of designers is responding to humanitarian crises and rethinking the social and economic future of the more than two billion people currently surviving in sub-standard living conditions. Mr. Sinclair is also the author of Design Like You Give a Damn. |
