Summary: Das Thema Entwicklungszusammenarbeit rückt seit einiger Zeit auch in den Fokus der Ausbildung von Architekten. Doch es gibt bislang kaum Ansätze, die die Arbeit von Architekten und Stadtplaner in diesem Kontext kritisch zu situieren. Das Buch befasst sich mit den architektonischen Folgen humanitärer Aktionen anhand von drei Fallstudien in Port-au-Prince, der Westbank und Nairobi. Aus typologischen und konstruktiven Untersuchungen von zwölf Projekten erarbeiten die Autoren eine differenzierte Position im Diskurs um kurzfristig erstellbare Wohnbauten in Notsituationen. Sie analysieren die weitreichenden Auswirkungen solcher architektonischen Hilfsaktionen und liefern Architekten, Stadtplanern und NGOs nützliche Hinweise für künftige Planungen.Summary: "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."--Provided by publisher
