In the last few days I have finished reading this book, architecture for humanity shows the need of understanding nature and how we should benefit from local materials and being flexible when facing many situations like natural disasters and poverty,the most important thing dealing with people and clients.
The greatest humanitarian challenge we face
today is that of providing shelter. The physical design of our homes, neighborhoods and communities shapes every aspect of our live, yet where architects are most desperately needed, they can least be afforded. Design Like You Give a Damn is a compendium of innovative projects from around the world that demonstrate the power of design to improve lives. It offers a history of the movement toward socially conscious design, and showcases more than 80 contemporary solutions to such urgent needs as basic shelter, healthcare, education and access to clean water, energy and sanitation
