2016- Nepal Sustainable Reconstruction
This document discusses sustainable reconstruction efforts in rural Nepal following the 2015 earthquake. It begins with introducing the author and background on architecture and sustainability. The main points covered include:
1) The earthquake revealed vulnerabilities in rural Nepal's construction techniques and livelihoods, threatening many subsistence farmers. In response, there is a movement toward locally rebuildable, seismically safe housing within government aid parameters.
2) One year later, the transition from recovery to reconstruction is beginning. New ideas for sustainable housing introduce concepts like earthquake resistance while maintaining cultural identity and financial feasibility.
3) Reconstruction presents challenges in high altitude rural areas but also opportunities to "build back better" and redirect Nepal's development in a more sustainable way

This document proposes a new city called Bubble City that aims to be ecologically innovative and sustainable. It describes the city's technical aspects, including a main sphere that would be protected from natural disasters and pollution through various mechanisms. It also describes additional spheres that would recreate different climates and connect to the main sphere through public transportation. The document outlines an internal working model for the city, including a new economy without physical currency or advertising, and an education system focused on philosophy, creativity, and lifelong learning. It proposes that the city would manage global integration through an ethical selection process for residents and controlled mobility between the city and outside world, with the goal of expansion to influence more sustainable urban development.

Just Grounds: Cape Town
Post-graduate course in architecture at Mejan Arc at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, 60 academic credits
Deadline for applications: June13th, 2011
Africa is rapidly urbanizing. 40% of the continent’s population is now urban, but despite Africa’s extensive natural resources and strong economic growth, neither international nor local investments find their way to the cities. In postcolonial Africa the City is still considered an exception. Basic infrastructure is still lacking and urbanization is occurring primarily in the form of slums, as silent encroachments. However, African urban researchers note that the African city should not be considered simply incomplete versions of their western counterparts. Indeed, the African city is following its own route with a very different map. These cities are growing as nodes in mutually dependent networks that span over national boundaries. Their populations are in perpetual movement – constantly in search of work and possibilities.
The city of Cape Town has a young, multi-cultural population and engagement from grassroots movements as well as academics and practitioners spans from social to spatial issues. Nowhere is the discourse on the Right to the City more urgently apparent than here. The conditions for an inclusive future based on equitably distributed resources are here and now. The city begs the question – can Cape Town show the way towards a genuinely more sustainable urban Africa, or will a refusal to act keep this development from occurring?
Resource.11 continues its present program series Happy Grounds – a multiple-year investigation of alternative urban models and perspectives on development generated from particularly advantageous breeding grounds, such as climate, topography, cultural expressions, resources, economies or social phenomena. We now look towards South Africa where we will take part of the intensive debate concerning the African city that is going on right now in Cape Town.
Are you an architect, landscape architect, urban planner, artist, designer or simply passionate about architecture and urban issues? Join us for a year of cross-disciplinary studies during the academic year 2011-12.

This document provides an overview of the "Bubble City" project, which envisions an ecologically sustainable and socially progressive city of the future. The city would be made up of a main sphere and several outer spheres replicating different climates. It would use innovative technical features like UV filtration, temperature regulation, and water recycling to protect inhabitants and the environment. The internal workings focus on developing skills through a new education system and sustainable economy without advertising. The city aims to expand its model through selecting residents based on values rather than wealth, with mobility between the city and outside world controlled to avoid overpopulation.
Evolution of Codesign in Aotearoa
Talk given at UXNZ 2016, exploring key "edges" of practice we are exploring in co-design in Aotearoa. With thanks to all the community members and practitioner who shared their experiences in this talk.
Talk Abstract:
Across Aotearoa (New Zealand), co-design is rapidly being adopted in public and community contexts to tackle complex national issues and policies such as youth employment; smoking cessation; community health and wellbeing; homelessness
and family violence.
Many of these are large-scale, complex social change innovations and experiments that bring together new groups of people, which means working together in new ways. The opportunity to scale co-design to help address systemic national social challenges is both awesome and terrifying. This talk highlights some of the key trends, changes, opportunities and challenges emerging in co-design for social innovation and social outcomes in Aotearoa.

Case Study Community Based Housing Organisation A Place called Home.docx
A community housing organization took on an Aboriginal housing program from another organization at the request of local Indigenous groups and the housing department. While the goal was to increase affordable housing options, tensions arose between Indigenous and non-Indigenous staff. Within 3 months, the new Indigenous housing worker position was filled, but cultural training for staff did not adequately prepare them. Disputes between neighbors exacerbated tensions as traditional practices, like moving families to new homes, clashed with goals of self-determination and cultural sensitivity. Recommendations are needed to address organizational issues and move constructively forward.
