- Abstract
Speed is not the only requirement when responding to the catastrophic loss of dwellings in major storms, earthquakes and tsunamis. Equally crucial are community recovery and structural durability, since what is initially intended as temporary accommodation can often remain in longer‐term use. Cynthia Barton, former housing recovery programme manager at the New York City Emergency Management Department, and Deborah Gans and Rosamund Palmer of Brooklyn‐based architectural practice GANS studio, have been working together in this area for 10 years. Their and other similar collaborations have produced effective models of modular design and community engagement that could provide a way forward.
