Turkey and Syria After the Earthquakes is a series of panel discussions curated by Collective Action for Readiness, Recovery, and Resilience (CARRRE), a collective of US-based Turkish-American architects and academics, to provide an international platform for learning, debate, and actionable projects.
The first panel, “Emergency Responses,” will provide an overview of the affected regions, discuss ongoing response efforts, and explore avenues to pursue within the built environment to address the urgent needs of impacted communities. Key topics include emergency housing and temporary shelter, shelter sites and infrastructure restoration, unexpected challenges in relief efforts, and enhancing preparedness for disaster relief (international examples).
Organized by AIA New York | Center for Architecture Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee and Collective Action for Readiness, Recovery, and Resilience (CARRRE) in collaboration with Salt, this free-admission program is open to everyone. The panel will be held in English and Turkish and simultaneous translation to both languages will be available online. Please register here for online participation.
