Design for Fragility 13 Stories of Humanitarian Architects

Design for Fragility 13 Stories of Humanitarian Architects

The demand is now urgent for architects to respond to the design and planning challenges of rebuilding cities and landscapes being destroyed by civil conflict (un)natural disasters political instability and poverty. The number of people fleeing their homes and being displaced by such conflict now totals almost 100 million. Despite the massive human and physical costs of these crises the number of architects planners and landscape architects equipped to work with disaster and development professionals in rebuilding in the aftermath of conflict floods fires earthquakes typhoons and tsunamis remains chronically low. Design for Fragility expands the nascent but rapidly growing field of humanitarian architecture by exploring 13 design responses to such conflict and displacement across 11 countries including Australia Bangladesh Fiji India Iran Pakistan and the USA. Linked to this displacement is the systemic poverty that often lingers from previous colonial territories and eras in which many of the featured projects in the book are located. This book follows Charlesworth’s Humanitarian Architecture: 15 Stories of Architects Working After Disasters (Routledge 2014) which analysed the role for architects in exercising ‘spatial agency’ while designing shelter and settlement projects for communities after conflict and disaster. Since that time the humanitarian architecture movement has expanded globally with the prominence of design agencies including the MASS Design Group and Architecture Sans Frontières (ASF) International. Design for Fragility analyses this role of spatial agency in architecture by addressing diverse conditions of fragility across 13 built projects – from refugee housing in Uganda and an orphanage for teenage girls in Iran to a residential centre in Northern Australia for people with acquired brain injury. Each of the projects profiled in this book explore: The experiences and perceptions of fragility – or precarity – that provided a design challenge and directed the particular spatial response. The specific typology of the project whether that be a housing health children’s or a First Nations project. The personal values that influenced the architects to work on humanitarian/community projects and how consultation occurred with diverse and often contested project stakeholders. The experiences of the design team as well as project managers occupants and donors of the built project exploring what they deemed successful about the project and what if any were its limitations. Beautifully designed with over 150 illustrations this practical and inspiring book is for architects landscape architects design educators humanitarian and development aid agencies that are involved or seeking to be part of future disaster mitigation and reconstruction strategies and projects globally. | Design for Fragility 13 Stories of Humanitarian Architects

Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

In the 1960s only 10% of peace agreements included some element of political-military accommodation – namely military integration. From Burundi to Bosnia to Zimbabwe that number had increased to over 50% by the 2000s. However relatively little is understood about this dimension of power-sharing often utilized during war-to-peace transitions. Through an examination of the case of South Sudan between 2006 and 2013 this book explores why countries undergoing transitions from war to peace decide to integrate armed groups into a statutory security framework. This book details how integration contributed to short-term stability in South Sudan allowing the government to overcome wartime factionalism and consolidate political-military power prior to the referendum on self-determination in 2011. It also examines how the integration process in South Sudan was flawed by its open-ended nature and lack of coordination with efforts to right-size the military and transform the broader defense sector and how this led the military to fragment during periods of heightened political competition. Furthermore the book explains why integration ultimately failed in South Sudan and identifies the wider lessons that could be applied to current or future war-to-peace transitions. This book will be of great interest to students of war and conflict studies peacebuilding post-conflict reconstruction African security issues and International Relations in general as well as to practitioners. | Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

Currently serving as a resource for the National Center for Toxological Research in their work with the Gulf Coast oil spill this book presents current research conducted primarily by the airforce on the toxic effects of JP-8 jet fuel on the pulmonary immune dermal and nervous systems. In all the book considers 13 toxicology studies of significance the results of which are currently shaping US armed services policy. It will enable all of the hydrocarbon industry to make better choices regarding fuel handling. Due to its widespread use jet fuel is thought to be the largest toxicant exposure risk for U. S. Armed Services personnel. Taking a proactive approach to the potential dangers of repeated human exposure to hydrocarbon fuels the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) sponsored a number of research projects during the last 20 years investigating health effects resulting from specific exposure to JP-8 (Jet Propellant-8). Jet Fuel Toxicology summarizes the newest and most important results of these extensive research programs carried out by hydrocarbon fuel research groups throughout the U. S. Each book chapter highlights one specific research area from the many topical areas comprising jet fuel toxicology. After examining the contents and general action of JP-8 the book looks at how the fuel affects various body functions highlighted by: Effects on daily inhalation on the respiratory systemAcute and long-term neurotoxicological and neurobehavioral effects Both local and systemic toxicity following exposure through the skinImmunotoxicity from pulmonary and dermal exposuresGenetic damage as evidenced in studies of the blood and bone marrow of mice In all the book considers 13 major toxicology areas of study the results of which will enable all of the hydrocarbon industry to make
