Miami Hurricane, March 29, 2010

              The UM School of Architecture hosted a
five-day workshop this past weekend to
help suggest ideas for rebuilding Haiti
after the destructive earthquake in Janu-ary.
It all began when the Haitian government’s
commission for reconstruction asked UM’s
School of Architecture to help them with post-earthquake
rebuilding plans. The result was an
overwhelming response to help.
Ultimately, it was decided that the best way
to hear everyone’s ideas and make the most of
the unique situation was to hold a “Charrette.”
A Charrette is a collaborative effort that in-tegrates
ideas from many areas to achieve the
best results for one common vision.
UM faculty and students participated from
many disciplines such as the School of Architec-ture
and the College of Engineering.
