relevance
the task and our skills how do settlements
shelters mediate between inhabitants and the
wider environment? what does settlement
shelter mean to a family? do engineers
architects have the professional skills required
to respond to emergencies? should not local
engineers architects respond? how can British
professionals contribute? how can British
companies contribute? maintaining the structures
gene pool
emergencies and development work is as much about
understanding the nature and consequences of
questions as solving technical problems
