On November 9, 2013 the devastating typhoon Haiyan hit the Phillipines, causing more than 5,000 deaths and destroying the homes and cities for millions. Natural disasters are happening more and more often due to climate change. We can’t do much to stop them, but as architects we can help with the recovery and to build shelters that would withstand them.
The goal of this course will be to generate design ideas for resilient schools for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan and other natural disasters.
The resoult of this course is designing the school of Guiuan in the Philippines.
