I
am just reviewing a draft/paper for a magazine,
and
it recalls me of several past experiences. Including the supervision of master
thesis on the issue, or acting among juries at the University of Oporto or
Evora.
I
also recall me of Beira's disaster (Mozambique) and a text I wrote at the time.
It
is very important to acknowledge that many regions were affected by
natural disasters (earthquake, tsunami and so on); as well as that many
reconstruction process continued until today;
One
should pay attention to the phases of such reconstruction processes were structured.
Most of the times, they focus: firstly on merely “emergency shelters”;
secondly on “Temporary housing” and just finally on the “permanent housing”. By
other hand endeavours of architects and planners involved should be
highlighted. Remembering that just some of them are well-known architects, such
as S. Ban, T. Ito or S Fujimoto.
The
paper that I am reviewing have a coherent argument
I
and the author, both share the same opinion: The relevant question of how
can architects participate, as well as the emerged concepts influence the way
we think
