Hello MYP 5 students...future architects for humanity. In this unit "Architecture For Humanity" we are exploring a few questions.
Can architects be humanitarians?
How can architecture protect people & communities while being socially responsible?
Is design a luxury or a necessity?
For Tuesday, please read the article I gave you on the San Fransisco earthquake (or view it here), and watch Cameron Sinclair speak again on TED (link below). Visit his organization website, Architecture for Humanity (below), and look through his completed/in progress/proposed projects. Choose one that interests you.
Write a blog entry which explains what you think a humanitarian architect does, who they help, and why they are important. Add a link to one of the projects you chose from Cameron Sinclair's organization website.
See you Tuesday!!
