Objetivos This short master qualifies professionals in the field of architecture to work in humanitarian aid and crisis situations in general. Through an offer of articulated eight thematic modules tutored by international experts, academics and practitioners with relevant experience, this course deepens and consolidates knowledge in key areas that intersect architectural design, disasters and development. Delivering an intensive apprenticeship at the confluence of disciplinary perspectives offers architects and other professionals from nearby areas useful tools to respond to disasters, health or refugee crises, and critical situations within informal settings.
Blending various topics, from the technical to the institutional, the social to the geographic, and the ethical to the esthetical, it focuses on the resilience of the communities inhabiting the urban margins. Addressing vulnerability drivers, this course seeks a comprehensive and critical reading of urgent and often unjust realities.
Competências do curso At the end of the complete course, candidates should be better prepared to stand alone or work as a team, develop projects, including funding applications, closely interact with communities, design with people and keep in mind the needs of women, transgender people and other minorities, and tackle projects that fall within the scope of architecture for crises, or humanitarian architecture, in a transdisciplinary way.
Upon completion of this post-master candidates will be better equipped to develop architectural projects from scratch, reconstruction, emergency or post-disaster resettlement or hosting and integration of refugees. Grounded on sustainability principles, these projects are supposed to meet the requirements related to adaptation to climate change, disaster risk reduction, involvement of local communities through collaborative design methods and women's empowerment and ethnic, political and religious minorities.
Students are believed to acquire or strengthen skills in observation and holistic analysis of humanitarian crises, housing shortages, services, intercultural conflicts or intersectionality, proposing, and combining analogical and digital tools, infrastructures and physical structures that can prevent and mitigate impacts as well as recovery according to the principle of building back better and building the resilience of communities.
