EDITORIAL


Spending most of our efforts on the daily grind and management of chap-ter work, wheather it be working

through the design of a specific project, developing relationships with community partners, digging through the accounting, preparing the next event, asking ourselves how to fund it all, or just figuring out how the hell we’re balancing work life, family life and our chapter lives, its easy to let the big picture slip to the side. The pur-pose of this publication is to make sure we keep the big picture hung on the right focal wall and encourage communica-tion of specific chapter activities across the network and throughout the globe. Within that framework we should re-mind ourselves of what is accomplished on a daily basis. Some of these accom-plishments include: making the benefits of design more accessible to those who need it most; empowering communities to envision and critique their surround-ings; providing a venue for designers all over the world to gather and use their training to express their passion for oth-ers; and advocating for the use of design

as a tool with the ability to join people and resources for a brighter and more equitable future. As a side effect of these every day activities we are also develop-ing the weakest aspects of our profession. We are facilitating the execution of proj-ects that actually allow ideas to spring into life as implementations of change.

The weakest aspects of the architectural profession are what they don’t teach in school. These include (and I apologize now for all the lists): how to develop re-lationships with clients, properly manage design teams, run a sustainable business (without funds), build the relationships within a community that will facilitate the longevity of a project, advocate for the need and benefit of design, run the books on projects to keep the organization afloat, budget, integrate the design process within events, and of course much, much more. These are the non-spatial skills of the pro-fession that are more difficult to teach in a university setting. As a chapter member you are dealing with all of these issues, and most importantly doing it for those in need of design’s crucial benefits. And


you are accomplishing this with such amazing passion that the Chapter Network continues to thrive and prosper, so that more communi-ties can benefit from what we have to offer.

Along with our continued efforts to commu-nicate with one another, the intention of this publication is to enable us to accomplish one of the most important goals of any successful venture - building a trusting team. As we ma-ture, and kick through the growing pains, us-ing each other’s experiences and examples to begin the process of assessing our successes and setbacks, we will develop the resources and training necessary to deliver the network to the next level, and heighten our work, our process, and (most importantly) the narratives of our community partners within the greater field of design and beyond. Please see this issue as open for discussion, all requests and com-ments are welcome and encouraged. Even if you want to act as editor for an issue let me know! (But I have to admit it takes some time…)

Within this inaugural issue the theme of resil-ience resonates with a few pieces about how, as designers and architects we can approach the issue, as well as how we can our own net-

work more resilient. While we develop an un-derstanding of how the planet is responding to our long-term habitation we have become aware of the dangers it poses to both our ur-ban centers and rural areas. The articles in this issue written by chapter leaders and design fellows describe many different ways of how the chapter network has been preparing for these unfortunately intrinsic events. There are also lists of resources, hearty congratulations, and recommendations for how, together we might schedule our calendar year to focus on the issues that really need development.

As designers who are working to establish a balance among the members of our mostly urban areas we are in the perfect place to cre-ate plans and facilitate relationships that will lead to a more prepared citizenry and urban system. So it’s with this theme of resilience, that we kick off our very own publication.

Thanks for reading!

P2P CYCLING EVENT: LONDON CHAPTER (and all else en route)

CURRENT EVENTS


All the riders are involved with architec-ture, property and planning and are call-ing on the support of fellow professionals en route to help collect and verify data from the different cities they ride through. Riders in the USA, Ireland, Wales and England will have the opportunity to join the core group.

The riders will be making comparative analyses of the 12 major cities they ride through including how they are provid-ing facilities and infrastructure for cy-cling. We will then be riding through the cities to experience cycling facilities di-rectly and talking to local architects, cy-clists and policy makers. On our return we will compare our findings with other expert groups, before publishing the re-search in print and digital formats.

We elected to start in Portland because it is a cycling city and voted America’s most liveable city. We will look at the cy-

clization of Portland, Minneapolis, Mil-waukee, Chicago, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, Dublin, Oxford and London. Training rides to Freiburg, Copenhagen and Rotterdam will provide base line experience against which the team can review the cities encountered en route.

Our research will provide comparative data and successful solutions which we hope will assist politicians and planners in instituting improved cycling condi-tions in cities around the world. We will also be raising money for three charities: Article 25, The Architects Benevolent So-ciety and Architecture for Humanity. Re-search will be presented at the World Cy-cling Summit in London in August 2013.

A cyclized city is a civilized city; a cy-clized city is a sustainable city.

- Peter Murray

From April to July 2013, a team of British riders are cycling from Portland Oregon to Portland Place London - studying how cities are coping with the increasing interest in the bicycle as a credible form of urban transport.

“We know that a relatively dense, compact urban form is far more energy efficient than sub-urbs that sprawl. We also know that cities where you can walk or cycle, rather than drive, where there are generous public spaces and ameni-ties close at hand, are more congenial places in which to cycle. Cycling is one of my great passions – particularly with a group of friends. I wish Peter and the group the best of luck and will be following their progress with a touch of envy – who knows, I hope to join the peloton along the way.”

-Lord Foster

ABSOLUT X PARTIES...


The Lisbon chapter of Architecture for Hu-manity and Reaction Lx have established a partnership to bring design students from around the world to Lisbon for a 15 day workshop aimed at reviving certain areas of the Graça district that the community has identified. The workshop will serve as a cat-alyst for change with issues being identified and the students proposing real solutions

that can be designed and carried out dur-ing the workshop. Students will create new programs, structures, urban furniture, urban art, or other interventions to activate and re-enliven these dead zones. The workshop intends to promote contact with the Lisbon community and welcoming students to use design to take a pro-active stance.

“We react to everything around us and, sometimes, we can’t control our reac-tions. It is this immediate ability to react when con-fronted that allows us to take a stand and, in accor-dance with our values, form an according opinion.”- Reaction

A series of full- sensory events incorporating music, art and mixology in exceptional live and digital experiences are taking place in collaboration with Architecture for Human-ity. In May, Miami’s Soho Studios hosted a version of a masquerade ball with contem-porary artist Agustina Woodgate and British indie rock band Bloc Party. Guests will make custom masks, revealing their dream identi-ties. Woodgate’s initiated and participant fin-ished art from the event will be donated to Architecture for Humanity to be installed in a selected public space in Miami. Three more parties to come!

Lx & REACTION - LISBON CHAPTER


Imagine the City: Pyrgos 2013

The recent economic crisis and the gen-eral degradation of life in cities increas-ingly augments the wave back to the countryside bringing structural change in the relationship between city and coun-tryside. New balance is created and new demands arise concerning habitation and life in the Greek region. The relation of the urban - rural landscape is negoti-ated and combination arises as a major issue. These thoughts will be explored through the workshops and will be di-rectly related to the social, economic and environmental impacts in the urban space of the city of Pyrgos, and the wider environment of Ilia.

The exhibition, as well as the parallel events, is organized by Architecture for Humanity Athens, based on a platform designed by Imagine the City, a collabor-ative interdisciplinary scheme of people and institutions which develops projects

on the form, image and culture of the greek cities.

Students, architects, urban planners and citizens of the area, are exhibiting their ideas and projects (architectural, artistic, planning) on the whole county of Ilia and challenging the locals to imagine their cities and area.

The presentation of the work will be complemented by social actions, such as lectures and forum discussions.

On a parallel level to the main exhibi-tion, various other events are happening May 16th through 25th in Pyrgos in the Amaliada area.

2013 Architecture for Humanity Toronto Lecture Series

On the final night of the series the Toron-to Chapter was joined by Sergio Palleroni who came all the way from Portland, Or-egon to discussed his work in developing countries as well as his contributions to BaSiC Initiative: a program that supports community partnerships, from housing solutions for Native Americans, to hous-ing and community services for migrant farm workers, to schools and health clin-ics in central Mexico.

Check out Sergio on TEDxTalks and on Design: e²

How do communities impact architec-ture, and how does architecture impact communities? We know how to create more sustainable buildings, but how can we create more sustainable com-munities? As our lives become increas-ingly interconnected how do the spaces, in which we interact, adapt to an ever-changing social landscape? We’ll explore these issues and more in three dynamic evenings with local and international ar-chitects who have pioneered socially en-gaged design practices.

PROGRAMSAIA PARTNERSHIP AND DISASTER GRANT PROGRAM

16

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Architecture for Human-ity announced a partnership to co-

ordinate their components and chapters throughout the Unites States to prepare and be resilient against natural disasters. In September, the AIA/ Architecture for Humanity Disaster Response Plan Grant was awarded to the five Architecture for Humanity chapters inSeattle, Chicago, New York, Baltimore, and Washington D.C..

Six months later, the grant winners have exercised their leadership in disaster re-siliency through local projects and work-shops. The grant winners have spearhead-ed efforts to initiate partnerships with local groups and government agencies, recruit teams of architects interested in resilience and build the chapter’s capac-ity and knowledge in disaster response.

These chapters are committed to con-tinuing their work beyond the grant award. They will continue working in tandem with a vast network of govern-ment offices, non-profits, and profession-al organizations. The foundation for local resilience has been laid in these 5 cities and the AIA and Architecture for Human-ity look toward spreading the program to meet all our components and chapters.

Disaster Assistance Coordination Network AFH Baltimore Chapter / AIA Baltimore

ment agencies, AIA, and other emer-gency management professionals in the region to develop plans and programs to address disaster preparedness and re-covery. The Baltimore team recruited a team of volunteer architects to plan and participate in MEMA workshops, a Safety Assessment Program training, and regu-lar monthly meetings to continue devel-oping the Disaster Assistance Toolkit and to continue the conversation about resil-ience in their city and state.

Disaster Response ProjectAFH Washington D.C. Chapter

The Washington D.C. Chapter is work-ing with the D.C. Department of Health to review designs for their Points of Dis-pensary (PoDs), which are centers used to dispense medicine in the case of an emergency. The PoDs use existing com-munity facilities, typically recreation centers, to house their operations during the emergency period. The Chapter led design charrettes with health department and emergency management officials to understand the needs and logistics of the PoDs.

The redesign of four PoDs resulted in an improved floor layout and work flow that would increase the efficiency and capac-ity of the dispensary, increasing efficien-cy 8-fold. As a result, the Department of Health asked that the Chapter complete redesigns of the remaining 12 PoDs. The Chapter was also involved in developing signage for the Presidential Inauguration.

In order to document their experiences,

the Chapter is publishing the “Archi-tects’ Guide to Disaster R e s p o n s e ” h a n d b o o k . The handbook will focus on evaluating and documenting PoDs, estab-lishing a “Di-saster Action Team” which will train pro-fessionals in disaster re-sponse, and studying previ-ous disasters to see how pro-fessionals can be utilized to mitigate future damage.

Safety Assessments TrainingsAFH New York Chapter / AIA

This chapter was put in a unique situa-tion when Hurricane Sandy hit during their disaster grant period. While this event delayed some of the training events scheduled for the grant, it allowed them to apply their skills to assist us in vari-ous ways. The New York Chapter was in-strumental to Architecture for Humanity’s Hurricane Sandy response, by leading as-sessments of neighborhoods and schools, and acting as the eyes and ears on the

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Architecture for Humanity announced a strategic partnership to coordinate advocacy, education, and training that helps architects make effective contributions to communities preparing for, responding to, and rebuilding after disaster. The partnership is focused on providing resources so more architects can utilize their skills in disaster response environments and better serve as leaders in their community.

ground for headquarters immediately fol-lowing the event. Their rapid response, existing disaster network and knowledge of disaster response during the event was invaluable to headquarters response.

In partnership with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the NYC Office of Emergency Management (OEM), the New York Chapter is further developing their disaster response network and offer-ing periodic Safety Assessment Program (SAP) trainings. The goals of the program are to: train local architects and build-ing professionals to assess structures post disaster, register trained professionals to SAP network, raise awareness of post-di-saster issues, and to create a local com-munity of disaster responders. Read how the New York Chapter is working to build a more resilient future in the New York area.

As a means to build chapter response ca-pacity for future disasters, an HQ-led di-saster training was held for the New York Chapter on March 16th and 17th. This two-day training event was held by Ar-chitecture for Humanity’s Director of the

Reconstruction and Resiliency Studio, Eric Cesal, visiting from San Francisco.

Washington State Disaster Preparedness and Response (DPR)AFH Seattle Chapter / AIA Washington

To build a strong network of trained ar-chitects, AIA Washington and AFH Se-attle partnered with the Structural Engi-neers Association of Washington (SEAW) to lead Safety Assessment Preparedness trainings throughout the state. They have held a number of Safety Assessment Pro-gram Trainings - led by Rachel Minnery, our new New York Regional Program Manager. Rachel has trained over 100 architects! The chapter in collaboration with SEAW, will be hosting a combined education event in Vancouver, WA in May. Check out the most recent updates on the WorldChanging page.

Due to the momentum provided by the Disaster Plan Grant to provide training sessions in Western Washington state, AIA Northwest & Pacific Region has asked the Disaster Response Committee, in conjunction with the SEAW, to provide


Yuko Okamura received her BA in Architecture from the University of Washington, and her M.Arch from the University of British Columbia. While always having a strong passion for humanitarian and environmental design, her experience volun-teering in the tsunami-struck region of Japan fueled her particular interest in architec-ture’s potential to build back better and create more resilient communities following a disaster. Yuko joined Architecture for Humanity as a Reconstruction and Resiliency Studio intern in October 2012, and transitioned to a Design Fellow in January 2013.

Illinois Architects’ Emergency Management/Disaster Response Workshops AFH Chicago Chapter / AIA Chicago / AIA Illinois

By connecting with key leaders and groups in the communities, the Chicago chapter has been able to share resources, discuss common goals and strategies, and look for areas of institutional overlap or areas where each organization can leverage its particular

strengths. Multiple meetings and workshops have now taken place, including a State Lev-el Exercise (SLE), which has given enough information to finalize the program for the disaster response workshops. Through the support of the Illinois Emergency Manage-ment Agency (IEMA), the workshops have included not only AIA Illinois and AFH Chi-cago members, but also municipal officials, IEMA staff, members of the State Incident Response Center (SIRC), and representa-tives from the Illinois Capital Development Board.

In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Ar-chitecture for Humanity New York’s members and volunteers were ready

to help our communities in anyway pos-sible. As eager to contribute as we all were, the reality of the situation was that most of the New York Chapter lacked ex-perience in responding to natural disas-ters. This opened up a great opportunity to leverage the expertise and support of our partners at Architecture for Humanity headquarters (HQ) with our local design community. Working with HQ, we were able to focus on a few strategic initiatives to contribute to the design of a more re-silient New York.

The first imperative for the New York Chapter was to survey and document the existing conditions. The chapter or-ganized and trained several teams in the months following the storm to go out in the field and conduct assessments. These surveys provided valuable information about the damage to structures, and the affected people and their stories. This in-

formation is now being put to great use by HQ’s Disaster team as it establishes partnerships and begins various projects. On the Chapter level, we are using this information to design our Constructing Resilient Communities Program (CRCP). This program will educate home and

business owners through workshops, providing them with knowledge to better sustain their homes or business spaces in changing climatic conditions. Through the CRCP, we will also connect them with industry professionals that will as-sist them in the rebuilding process, ulti-mately to build back stronger and to re-vive communities.

Mitigating the devastation of disasters through preventative design is vital to resilience; In addition, the aftermath of disasters must also be addressed. Once the major rush to gather information was over, the New York Chapter and disaster team took some time to look at what can be done better after the next storm. The resulting initiative was a Disaster Train-ing for Chapter members. The goal of this training was to get familiar with HQ’s disaster response and to understand key factors, and when, why and how to cre-ate the best impact. An important lesson was to understand the best use of the skills of architects and designers in the

rebuilding phase of a disaster. The initial training was a two-day event and 20 Chapter members participated. Lead by Eric Cesal, Archi-

tecture for Humanity’s Reconstruction & Resiliency Studio Director, the Chapter was inspired to take the steps to put the information into a guide that we can use for continued training, and that can pre-pare us to respond effectively in the after-math of future disasters.

We chapters depend on the passion, commitment, and skills of our members to drive meaningful design forward. With the continued support and guidance of HQ, the New York chapter can build up its disaster assessment, training, and resources...


The experience of Superstorm Sandy is one that continues to challenge Architecture for Humanity New York to practice humanitarian design with a different sense of urgency than we typically face in our Chapter projects. As most, if not all, Chapters can relate, balanc-ing the efforts and resources of a volunteer organization can be daunting. We Chapters depend on the passion, commitment, and skills of our members to drive meaningful design forward. With the continued support and guidance of HQ, the New York Chapter

can build up its Disaster assessment, train-ing, and resources such as the Constructing Resilient Communities Program. With these tools and prepared teams, the Chapter will be able to mobilize itself quickly and ef-fectively after the next storm or disaster. As we continue our efforts to design a more re-silient New York, we look forward to shar-ing our experiences with other Chapters, in hopes that our experience might help more communities in the event of a storm or other disaster.

Jennifer has been volunteering with the organization since 2008 in a variety of capacities. Prior to her current appointment, Jennifer volunteered for two years as a project coordi-nator of the community outreach and design competition “FlyNY.” She later served as the chapter’s Director of Records. In her spare time, Jennifer is a licensed architect currently practicing in New York. She graduated from Montana State University with her Masters of Architecture in 2007 and received her license in 2011.

non-profit organizations in advance of a di-saster. The Program facilitates relationships with professional groups, disaster and emer-gency management groups and community organizations throughout the country.

By activating our 52 chapters throughout the world and our extensive network of design professionals, Architecture for Hu-manity provides the needed resources and technical knowledge to contribute to the creation of resilient cities. In partnership with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), we provide advocacy, education and training programs to help architects find their role in disaster preparedness, response and recovery.

The Resiliency Program supports our chap-ters’ initiatives to:

• Train community groups and local offi-cials in disaster response• Launch a major disaster response in the event of a disaster • Establish a post-disaster rebuilding cen-ter to coordinate reconstruction efforts and resources • Coordinate a network of key players fol-lowing a disaster event

This is all just beginning. With the incredi-ble success of the grant program thus far we are working on methods to enable the other chapters who wish to participate. Together we can all prepare for the inevitable to ensure the long terms safety for the all com-munities, even those who feel left behind.

HOW TO USE THE OAN


Share/Tell - Publicizing our work is critical to that work’s suc-cess. These projects contribute to a lexicon of successful de-sign solutions, and beyond serving their communities, they can light the way for aspiring peers to execute something of their own.

Measure - A serious discussion continues to demonstrate and justify the impact of architects and design in the humanitar-ian realm. Metrics have been recognized as a way to do that - meaning keeping track of the number and kinds of people impacted by your project, measured against a “before” base-line. This data makes a beautiful project an equally compel-ling argument to continue our work.

Follow - Partners and fans alike will be anxious to get the lat-est news on the project, or how the project team is working on it - even during periods of relative inactivity. Posting regu-lar updates keeps followers engaged and reminded of an un-imaginable amount of effort it usually takes to carry something through.

Credit - The nature of our work includes a lot of project and community partners, consultants and contractors, and other designers - many of who are dedicating their time pro bono to see something great happen. They should be recognized for their work.YOUR PROJECT’S OAN PAGE

-Karl Johnson

A project page should ideally be a one-stop for partners, project team members, curious fellow humani-tarians and excited media representatives to absorb the lessons, solutions and craft that have formed a real-life and well-used built solution to challenges facing our society. Part of that is of course making our work accessible for other people learning to engage communities, so I’m all for efficient and complete info on projects.

It all starts with a PROJECT - and the OAN is a great way of representing it, in completion and process, as part of an Open Source architec-tural lexicon.

The chapter’s first meeting with the [Driehaus] foundation that would ultimately provide the grant came

in summer 2010 with a simple hello.

The foundation is a critical advocate for architecture in the city and the board of directors at the time scheduled a meeting with the foundation to provide a formal introduction to the chapter, our mission and projects. At the time, interest in the chapter was growing following the suc-cessful completion of a handful of local projects. The board knew that we were not in a position to effectively utilize funds at that time and a request for donations was not the intent of that first meeting. This ap-proach surprised the foundation’s Execu-tive Director, piqued their interest and resulted in an enlightening conversation about public interest design with a prom-inent supporter of the Chicago commu-nity. Considerable knowledge and con-tacts were shared at that first meeting which have since exceeded any amount of funds we could have requested.

The initial introduction to the chap-ter transformed the foundation into a champion for our work. Architecture for Humanity Chicago has been invited to participate in various panels and com-mittees that helped expand our network and increase our exposure to organiza-tions working in parallel disciplines and

potential collaborations. The chapter has continued our contact with the founda-tion over the years, sending periodic up-dates, links to publications and project related press, as well as event invitations and partnership opportunities.

Finally, in summer 2012 the board of di-rectors made a specific request for funds to support general operations and admin-istration to help the chapter scale its ini-tiatives and overall capacity. The chap-ter had reached critical capacity with

the generous volunteers and a dedicated individual was needed to elevate the chapter and create a local project infra-structure to meet the growing demand for design related partnerships. The chapter’s successful grant was possible not only to the success of our projects and the team that created the grant, but to an ongo-ing relationship that saw the foundation not as a source of funds, but a source of knowledge.

The two parts of the hiring process that were most involved for the board of di-rectors were writing the job description and determining the interview process. Each of these involved several hours of meetings and countless board discus-sions.

Chicago Managing Director of HiringBY Katherine Darnstadt

The chapter’s successful grant was possible not only to the success of our projects and the team that created the grant, but to an ongoing relationship that saw the foundation not as a source of funds, but a source of knowledge.

Beginnings: The Grant


Since our chapter currently operates entirely through the work of volunteers, the creation of the job description for a paid position took considerable effort. Ultimately, the po-sition was written to take advantage of char-acteristics that make a paid position different

from a volunteer one. The main advantage of a paid position is stability. Volunteer work-ing groups are constantly adjusting to the availability and skills of the volunteers. With a paid position, even if the actual person fill-ing it changes, the role remains stable. For our chapter, we envisioned tasks such as de-veloping and maintaining consistent design standards for our projects as well as creating relationships and pursuing additional fund-ing and grant opportunities. Futhermore, we wanted the staff person to represent the organization to partners, volunteers, and sponsors--something they would need to be uniquely qualified to do, as an employee of the chapter.

In hiring, candidates will be evaluated using a variety of tests. The most familiar of these tests is the interview. In order to select the best candidate it is important that the tests

used have a high degree of validity and con-sistency. Validity in this case meaning that the test both appears reasonable for the position and can be shown to be predictive of suc-cess on the job. We decided on a structured interview, in which we asked the same basic

questions to each candidate, as well as a presentation of a work sample provided by the candi-date. The presentation is struc-tured to provide an opportunity for the candidate to showcase

their ability to make similar presentations to potential partners and sponsors.

It is the intention of the board of directors to structure the managing director position to take on an individual who can provide a consistent face for our organization, to the community, our volunteers and partner or-ganizations. Their work will be done at the behest of the board and the continuation of their employment will, at least in part, be contingent on their ability to locate addi-tional funding for the chapter. In selecting the final candidate we are looking for an in-dividual who will not only provide a posi-tive face for the organization but also grow with our chapter and be involved for years to come. By design, the managing director is a position built to evolve as we grow as a chapter and mainstay in the Chicago public interest design community.

Katherine Darnstadt is the founder and principal architect of LATENT DESIGN, architecture and design collaborative developing innovative solutions with, by, and for clients through a participatory working method. LATENT DESIGN brings innovative and comprehensive design services to those in resource and budget limited environments including small businesses, start-ups, nonprofits and com-munity organizations. LATENT DESIGN actively pursues a diverse range and scale of work, from mixed-use developments, affordable housing, interior architecture and temporary acupuncture style interventions.

By design, the managing director is a position built to evolve as we grow as a chapter and mainstay in the Chicago public interest design community.

As we all know there is a plethora of action items to tackle as we move forward with the development of our

individual chapters. Building a strong net-work that fills us with pride will take both training and empowering leaders and par-ticipants. In order to begin addressing these issues we need to identify key areas and ar-range a strategic plan of attack. The diagram to the left identifies 12 (or so) main issues, as-signing each one to a calendar month. In do-ing so we will be able to focus on each one throughout the year. This is not to say that these are the only issues, or that we should only discuss them during their respective months, but it gives us time as a network to focus on planning for a specific goal while setting up an annual cycle of checks and bal-ances for our plans.

Once we test out the themes, if it does not work, of course we’ll reevaluate. If we choose to continue with the monthly themes, then

perhaps in the future we can go one step further in assuring these themes are properly addressed by setting up task groups, to work collectively with HQ on developing a strate-gy for the theme to be applied across the net-work. These task groups will be composed of qualified and committed chapter leadership. Again please do reach out if you would like to change any of the issues or the idea of working together on these.

Once we identify the most important themes, and apply them to an appropriate spot in the yearly cycle, we will report on the progress, in this quarterly publication. So, aside from cool events, milestones achieved, and fea-ture articles by and for chapter members, the quarterly will also include a report on the three themes that were covered within that quarter.

HQ will also work with chapter leadership to develop beneficial webinars on these top-ics, pulling from the expertise here and from around the world.

Tohoku Planning Forum: Sustainable Communities through Social ResilienceBY Christian Dimmer - Tokyo Chapter

In the months that followed the cataclys-mic triple disaster of earthquake, crip-pling tsunami and resulting Fukushima

nuclear accident on March 11th, 2011, the full scope of the massive and widely vary-ing devastations along the coast of North-East Japan slowly became apparent. While the tsunami claimed nearly 19,000 lives, it had also wiped out entire communities and devastated farmland, ports and much of the regional economy.

Although Japan’s government has allocated vast financial resources to facilitate a speedy recovery, this effort is frustrated by the enor-mous spatial extent of the affected areas, by distinctly different socio-economic and top-ographic conditions at each locality, a short-age of personnel and materials, as well as the wide spectrum and magnitude of the tsu-nami devastations. For these reasons there can be no one-fits all recipe for reconstruc-tion. While the rubble of lost livelihoods was

being cleared and neatly sorted in piles, be-hind stayed a vast emptiness that anxiously awaited fresh visions for a less than certain future. To fill this desolation, it is question-able if built structures, dams, roads, facto-ries, and public facilities are enough. To fill more than physical voids, namely those in

the hearts of the disaster survivors and their injured communities, participation and a sense of authorship in recovery plans is im-portant for lasting success of reconstruction. After all, it is the social capital within com-

munities, the ties be-tween neighbours, fami-lies and friends that had saved lives and that will be crucial for the re-building and sustained function of mostly rural

communities that will lose around half of their population over the coming decades due to demographic change.

More than two years later, the recovery effort is marked by a growing number of promising reconstruction projects in various places and

In collaboration with 17 International chambers of Commerce Tohoku Planning Forum organised the event ‘Giving Back to Japan 2: Community Leaders Report’. Mayors from five cities in the disaster-hit ar-eas met on 16 May in Tokyo to discuss community rebuilding in the tsunami and earthquake-hit Tohoku region in Japan.

To fill more than physical voids, namely those in the hearts of the disaster survivors and their injured communities, participa-tion and a sense of authorship in recovery plans is important if reconstruction is to be of lasting success.


In collaboration with the Free University of Bruxelles, Meiji University, Tohoku University and local groups, Tohoku Planning Forum co-organised the ‘Resilient Ishinomaki Workshop’ in Ishinomaki in July 2012.

...we developed the idea of four, phased forum modules that -in their accumulation- would contribute to a broader, more inclusive vision-making process for the long-term transfor-mation of Japan’s disaster-struck regions.

on varying scales on the one hand. On the other hand frustration is mounting as survivors complain about slow visible progress and often top-town planning processes which ignore public opinion. A single place, where all those initiatives

are discussed, archived, mapped, cu-rated and made available does still not exist. This makes it very hard for organ-isations and individuals, willing to help, to fathom where and how to engage in reconstruction activities. As few aid or-ganisations or local citizen groups have experience with reconstruction of such total and vast scale, the lack of shared practical knowledge and information re-quires most projects to start from scratch.

Although communication is taking place within the various sub-publics of archi-tects, urban planners, art activists, profes-

sional and academic bodies, designers, or citizen groups, the wider public is left out. Long-term comprehensive visions aren’t as widely discussed as Japan’s crit-ical demographic and socio-economic situation would require.

In order to respond to these complex problems and in order to make the best contribution as a group of To-

kyo-based, mostly foreign nationals with planning backgrounds, we developed the idea of four, phased forum modules that —in their accumulation— would contribute to a broader, more inclusive vision-making process for the long-term transformation of Japan’s disaster-struck regions. The lessons learned here would be also of value for other regions beyond Tohoku, marked by similar structural, demographic and socio-economic prob-lems. The TPF2 initiative therefore sought to connect Japanese and international practitioners and an interested public in Tokyo with activists, citizen groups


and professionals, active in the disaster-hit communities and to facilitate an exchange of ideas, best practice experience and prac-tical support. The differ-ent modules would be launched in four phases that would gradually ex-pand the reach of the proj-ect and raise critical awareness for building a better future rather than replicating past urban planning mistakes.

The project would facilitate a more inter-disciplinary, comprehensive and long term-directed vision making process that would be inclusive and promote the dissemination of innovative ideas and strategies. To utilise international experience and encourage mu-tual learning processes, the project tried to connect Tohoku communities with other re-gions in the world facing similar problems. The different modules were conceived as stand-alone projects with different sub-ob-jectives and would deliver each their own clearly defined outcomes:

1. The Tokyo Forum was organised by Ar-chitecture for Humanity Tokyo and the To-

kyo Planning Forum becoming a node for creative reconstruction discourses and a fa-cilitator for exchanging ideas and contacts

between individuals and organisations, in-terested in contributing to the post-disaster recovery. The monthly meetings that were live-streamed through our website www.tpf2.net and also invited outside comments via our Facebook page and Twitter varied in format —from intensive workshops in To-kyo, or in Ishinomaki, to larger forums with hundreds of participants. The Tohoku initia-tives discussed here were fed into the inter-active, crowd-sourced knowledge-database of module 2. The forums consisted of four elements: the audience, the presenters, the u-steam uplink and the Twitter screen with inputs from a virtual public. After the launch of the project modules 3 and 4, meetings of the Traveling Forum, the International Forum and the Tokyo Forum could have taken place simultaneously in order to connect the dif-ferent groups directly and heighten the im-mediacy and awareness for the needs of the communities in Tohoku.

2. The Virtual Forum would consist of a de-tailed, continuously updated overview cata-loging which people and organisations were doing what, where and how for promoting community rebuilding. A crowd-sourced map that would collect and locate relevant initiatives potentially contributing to the long-term revitalisation of Tohoku would present projects in a prescribed template, giving contact details, objectives, areas of activity as well as prominent projects. Focus

of this database is collecting ideas that aim at the mid- to long-term restructur-ing of North-East Japan’s rapidly ageing, peripheral regions with their atrophying local economic base. Categories of fea-tured projects are: architecture, urban design, energy, environment, economic revitalisation, community design, inter-generational exchange, etc. Also re-quests regarding needed skills, materials, knowledge, experience and labour were to be placed here. Due to a lack of fund-ing and man/woman power so far only a simplified crowd-sourced database was set up with no map functionality.

3. The Traveling Forum would physically connect the various reconstruction activ-ities in the communities of the disaster-hit areas, record and archive previously unknown initiatives, facilitate the dis-cussion of reconstruction plans between professionals and —more importantly— local citizens, provide a temporary free space and constitute a mobile counter point to the Tokyo Forum. A mobile pa-vilion would serve as a temporary forum, travelling through Japan’s disaster-hit ar-

eas in order to establish lateral connec-tions between affected communities. The route of the forum would depend on the intensity of connections that have been established through the activities of mod-ules 1 and 2 to organisations and indi-viduals working on the ground. Locally active citizen groups and experts would use the pavilion as temporary community and workshop space. It could also serve as a lounge for local citizens and offer informal urban and architectural design consultancy —if desired by the commu-nity.

4. The International Forum seeks to con-nect communities in Tohoku with partner regions across the globe that are equally marked by ageing societies, atrophy-ing local economies, or similar disaster devastations. The module would facili-tate an international exchange of ideas between communities and organisations on an equal footing as well as intercul-tural learning. Partnering between other recently disaster-hit regions in the world would be encouraged in order to dissem-inate best reconstruction and community


Dr. Christian Dimmer graduated from the interdisciplinary ‘Spatial and Environmental Planning’ program at the Technical University of Kaierslautern/ Germany. Besides his academic research he has cooperated with architectural firms such as Arata Isozaki and Associates and property devel-opers like Mitsubishi Estate Inc. as an urban design consultant on large-scale urban revitalisation schemes in central Tokyo as well as on various new town projects in China. In 2006, with two col-leagues, he established the architectural practice Frontoffice/ Tokyo.

revitalisation practice. This would be also a valid opportunity to utilise Architecture for Humanity’s worldwide chapter network.

The strength and uniqueness of The Tohoku Planning Forum is that it offers an expand-able platform, consisting of four indepen-dent, yet interrelated modules. Various actors and initiatives may ‘dock’ into this open ar-chitecture to maximise the impact and con-tinuity of the project. Furthermore, instead of delivering the project single-handedly, TPF2 has sought to collaborate with existing initia-tives, who could then organise the different modules. This would have allowed for utilis-ing expertise and experience. After organis-ing 12 successful and well attended forum events and building up a basic database, the lack of manpower and funding did not al-low for curating and launching the most im-portant project module of all the Travelling Forum.

However, more than two years since the catastrophic March 11th event, reconstruc-tion seems fading from public awareness and numbers of active volunteers and organisa-tions on the ground are dwindling. Instead of becoming an opportunity for Japan as a whole to broadly explore visions for solving Japan’s problems, resulting from negative demographic developments and atrophying rural regions beyond reconstructing Tohoku, only a small number of bureaucrats and planning experts determine the future of the county.

In order to involve the broader public and in-vite all citizens into the making of a resilient future Japan, projects like the Tohoku Plan-ning Forum can play a crucial role. Strength-ening civil society and creating social capi-tal —not merely rebuilding roads, dams, and buildings as ends in themselves— is the key to safeguarding adaptable, resilient, sturdy and self-reliant communities that are able to face the challenges of an uncertain future.


Fresh Moves is a platform for providing access to nutritious food and education in areas where it is not available on a local level. Utilizing partnerships with local stakeholders, schools, churches, community organizations, Fresh Moves is able to provide a supportive knowl-edge infrastructure of health knowledge beyond simply fruits and vegetables. Fresh Moves is a design solution that is transferable and could easily scale up to encompass a fleet in Chicago, where three buses now serve food deserts. It has since been replicated in other cities and was one of the recipients of a USDA grant to study the impact of mobile market in

both urban and rural environments. It uses available resources that exist in any major city, which suggests a public-pri-vate partnership of adaptive reuse for di-rect, local social impact on a scale that has not been fully realized.

Since the launch of the first Fresh Moves bus in 2011, over 22,000 unique cus-tomers have been served, two more bus-es have been added to the Chicago fleet, and the organization has won a Chicago Innovation Award and been featured in the Venice Bienniale as part of the US Pavillion ”Spontaneous Interventions”. - Architizer

She wholeheartedly believes design is about engaging communities and solving design-driven needs while leveraging partners and assets to clients with resource and budget constraints.

She has charted a new course that seeks to define “architect” as more than the sum of an individual practitioner’s training and “project” as more than a physical structure that ends at the ground plane. Instead, she engages in a community-based, participa-tory design process that seeks to have a posi-tive impact on communities with no precon-

ceptions about the outcome. A vital aspect of her career is the way she has seamlessly integrated her volunteer work into her pro-fessional practice with a model that strikes a balance between for-profit and pro-bono work. - AIA

Katherine has accomplished great strides by serving as the Director of AFH - Chicago for the past 4 years, her work has even lead the chapter to hire a part time employee. We wish Kath-erine the best of luck with her p ra c t i c e , she will be genuinely missed in the Direc-tors role.

“A DIGITALLY ENHANCED, COMMUNITY-BASED, REVENUE-GENERATING LIBRARY ON THE FRONTIERS OF BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY.”

The opportunity lies in the fact that only 3% of the 1 billion people in Africa have access to broadband internet. Using Kickstarter, the DC chapter of AFH is proposing Librii, a net-work of low-cost, digitally powered libraries deployed along the expanding fiber optic infrastructure in the developing world. Librii creates a complete enabling environment of digital and physical resources operated by a staff of professional librarians. Librii provides

individuals and communities in emerging markets the tools to solve their own educa-tional, informational, and economic chal-lenges. Librii will pay the up-front costs of construction while operating costs will be shifted to the users, eliminating the need for perpetual government or philanthropic sup-port. They are planning to launch the first Li-brii in Ghana as it has emerged as a technol-ogy leader in Africa.

Librii asked AFH-DC to act as fiscal sponsor for their project enabling a partnership that will endure beyond the campaign.

The Atlanta Chapter is celebrating their five-year anniversary. They “Drank Like They Give a Damn” to commemorate the occasion. The party was held at The Drafting Table, a local restaurant special-izing in regional influences and locally sourced ingredients paired with local beers and spirits.

They’ll be kicking off the June #ilove-architecture campaign and making their

official announcement for their 5th, yes 5th annual, Birdhouse Social. One of At-lanta’s most popular summer events!

Their footing the bill for food and beer sampling but would appreciate dona-tions to support The Birdhouse Social and current projects.

Congratulations to everyone in the Atlan-ta chapter for 5 wonderful years of work!

Big news from the Bay Area as the San Francisco Chapter was accepted into the Architecture in the City festival to be hosted this September. The festival, cre-ated by AIA San Francisco, is the nation’s largest architectural festival. The month-long annual fall celebration features be-hind the scenes and walking tours, films, exhibitions, lectures and more, providing opportunities for participants to engage with the local architectural community and experience design in a myriad of ways throughout the city.

The San Francisco Chapter will provide a venue for diverse stakeholders to come

together in seeing disaster preparation as an opportunity to empower ourselves and our communities through localized initiatives and solutions. Though disas-ters often bring destruction and suffering, they can also be the harbingers of trans-formation and renewal.

The chapter envisions a resilient and thriving post-disaster Bay Area and will be inviting local artists, poets, inventors, and makers to express what that looks like through their eyes.

A hearty congratulations goes out to the Den-ver Chapter who surpassed their kickstarter goal for re-purposing old building parts into a much needed outdoor classroom. The proj-ect proposes an outdoor classroom, com-munity event space and place for summer camps for kids in need attached to the Museo de las Americas in Denver. Most of the ma-terials can will be found and re-purposed from a building currently being demolished.

Money from the kickstarter campaign will go towards a permanent gate and an overhead fabric canopy for shading the classroom.

The chapter is making the kickstarter re-wards by laser cutting mustache necklaces, bracelets and earrings from the same found materials that will be re-purposed to build the classroom.
