This book points to the potential for archtects to play important roles in post-war relief and recontruction. The author suggests that architects and design professionals have a significant opportunity to assist peace-making and recontruction efforts in the period immediately after conflict or disaster, when much of the housing, hospital, educational, transport, civic and business infrastructure has been destroyed or badly damaged.--publisher.
