A THINK TANK FOR MASS PRODUCED DISASTER RELIEF HOUSING
DESIGN CHARRETTE AND SEMINAR. The Last Resort is an opportunity to get involved in a grassroots disaster relief housing strategies think tank, to be based at MIT. Participants will address the functional requirements, design parameters, and models for social, political, and economic engagement for emergency shelter management adaptable to twenty first century realities at local and global scales. Focused on the catalyzation of a new higher-education-centered focus on architecture’s material and social engagement in contexts of extreme volatility, The Last Resort aims to produce usable and radically pragmatic architectural prototypes as well as instigate a new, emergent, scholarly network of collaboration around disaster relief strategies, during this year’s IAP.
