Alice Min Soo Chun (Author of Ground Rules in Humanitarian Design)

Outlining a vital framework for designing for impoverished and disaster-stricken communities, this informative guide explores the integration of culture, art, architecture, economy, ecology, health, and education.

Richly illustrated, this guide combines graphic documentation of projects, maps, and data-tracking developments from Asia, Africa, and the Americas to underscore the complexities of this emerging and evolving field. The ambition to provide humanitarian architecture for areas in acute need is driving design innovation worldwide among both practitioners and educators.

This book provides an indispensable resource for those engaged in the search for the sustainable inclusion of cultural code and compassion as a technology for design innovation. While still in college, students are being given the opportunity to directly participate in programmes that provide vital facilities for communities abroad. While these international initiatives remain largely ad hoc , this book provides parameters for engagement and establishes best practices for approaching these projects with a global perspective.

With expert insight and practical strategies on the ground, Ground Rules in Humanitarian Design is an essential resource for architects at any level. While still at college, many North American and European students are being given the opportunity to participate directly in programmes that provide vital facilities for communities abroad. Ground Rules for Humanitarian Design seeks to provide parameters for engagement at a time when these international initiatives remain largely ad hoc.

Research shows that there are approximately ,, brownfield sites in the United States alone Land reform and redevelopment works on multiple levels. If existing infrastructure can be used to cleanse contamination through the application of natural systems, green fields can be left in their natural state. In this way, repurposed brownfield sites may lead the way in sustainable planning.

This strategy will thwart sprawl, reduce carbon emissions and encourage reinvestment in adversely affected communities. Designing with land and water, allowing the rich harmony of disparate natural elements, must be the new paradigm for land remediation. The practice counters ecocide by using natural local materials and systems in their designs. In her essay 'Regenerative Landscapes: Remediating Places,' Anneliese Latz describes the aesthetic demands on ecological design:.

Duisburg is located in the Ruhr region of Germany, one of the largest coal-mining and steel-manufacturing centres in 19th-century Europe. The design strategy for land reclamation in the city could ultimately transcend cultures, continents and scale, and be applied to brownfield sites in Africa or the remediation of poisoned ecosystems in Japan. Land and water design strategies provide rich opportunities to integrate less wasteful models of basic infrastructure and so create new public spaces with a social function and purpose. Such opportunities enable reciprocity between human wellbeing and a strategy for ecosystem services.

These include a blast furnace and storage bunker.

Alice Min Soo Chun (Author of Ground Rules in Humanitarian Design)

Water management is a common challenge in brownfield remediation. Since there was no natural water remaining on the Duisburg site, the higher areas of land had high levels of pollution that required addressing.

As a first step towards cleansing the site, all sewage was transferred underground in a sealed clay channel. The former open sewer system of collecting wastewater became part of a new clean water system, to avoid contact with polluted land. Collected rainwater travels in overhead pipes and new rivulets, which allows the water to oxygenate before finally falling into the former cooling basins. Aquatic life thrives in the clean water and water lilies and irises help to maintain and support the new water biotopes.
