AT THE SINGAPORE DESIGN FESTIVAL: DESIGN&DISASTERS
02.12.2007 News
Singapore (Singapore) - Design&Disasters is a project initiated by the
DesignSingapore Council, with the aim of creating design that can be
deployed to prepare for and minimise effects of disasters, in the case
of disaster occurrences in the 5Rs:
1. Resilience
2. Respond
3. Rescue
4. Restore
5. Rebuild.
It also hopes to cultivate a better appreciation of design's role in improving lives and in humanitarian aid, as well as an understanding that design is not the exclusive precinct of the elite, but also has a broad-based functional humanitarian utility.
