As we watch the Atlantic Ocean churn out
its seasonal strings of tropical storms
and hurricanes, it is impossible not to
be concerned by the potential peril these
storms may thrust upon the people of
Haiti. This project is tasked to project architectural
strategies for Haiti that would
otherwise not be imagined or discussed.
It is aimed at a productive reconciliation
or interweaving of the two seemingly
disparate and perhaps conflicting concerns:
substantial investment in the tent
cities (in general) vs. long-term urban
rebuilding goals.
