Architects without frontiers : war, reconstruction and design responsibility
\"The title of this book, Architects Without Frontiers, points to the potential for architects to play important roles in post-war relief and reconstruction. By working sans frontieres, Charlesworth suggests that architects and design professionals have a significant opportunity to assist peace-making and reconstruction 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.\" \"Through selected case studies, Charlesworth examines the role of architects, planners, urban designers and landscape architects in three cities following conflict-Beirut, Nicosia and Mostar-three cities where the mental and physical scars of violent conflict still remain. This book expands the traditional role of the architect from 'hero' to 'peacemaker' and discusses how design educators can stretch their wings to encompass the proliferating agendas and sites of uncivil unrest.\"--Jacket.
