상품 설명

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. Twelve projects are analyzed in terms of typology and construction. The authors investigate the far-reaching effects of such architectural aid and supply architects, town planners, and NGOs with useful advice for future planning and design.


Forms of Aid takes the measure of humanitarian spaces. Norms and standards may mask the strangeness of these precipitants of nations and the NGO-cracy - spaces existing outside the state but nevertheless molded against it as a negative image. While often treated as spaces of temporary crisis, Forms of Aid insists on drawing and exposing their stubborn, heavy, habitual consequences.
